   I've searched, and the only thing close to what I'm looking for was the GoodReads widget. I'm not necessarily looking to set up yet another account (with GoodReads), nor am I wanting to sell anything, or link to a seller's site, but would like to be able to show the covers of 3-6 books I'm currently reading so my readers can see what is influencing my thinking.

   I see others have this functionality, but not sure how to add it to my site. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

   The blog I need help with is seek-1st.net.

   You can use image widgets or text widgets to do that.

   Timethief: Thanks! I'll give the "text widgets" solution a try, as soon as I can scrape together an hour or so.

   I may actually try the tutorial, but reading the directions goes against my nature... :)

   Seriously, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I didn't look at "text widgets" because I didn't expect it to be able to include images. Guess I could stand to learn more... ;)
