Do you have a link to your blog so we can see what you mean? It's hard to tell if we can help if we can't see it first.

Have you had a look at this FAQ as well? It might help.

Yeah, I thought I followed the directions in that link. Must have missed something. Here is my blog-

jk - the proper format is
'
<img src="http://kansascorner.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/my-pretty-girl-nissa.jpg" alt="nissa" />
` -
hmm - that didn't work
<img src="http://kansascorner.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/my-pretty-girl-nissa.jpg" alt="nissa" /> -
This code should do the trick. It needed img src tags before it, that's what says it's an image otherwise it's just a link to the file. Simple to do.
<img src="http://kansascorner.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/my-pretty-girl-nissa.jpg" />One thing you might want to do, though, is make the image a bit smaller before you put it in your sidebar. At that size it might distort the blog. It's easy to do with http://www.picnik.com/ and then you upload that picture to WordPress. Hope that helps.

Whoops, sorry vivian - didn't see you there. :)

no problem cj. You gave a more complete answer than I did ;)

Okay. I'll resize, then use the imc src tags. Thanks much!

You're welcome and happy blogging. :)

Okay- I did it. And it worked! There is a photo in my sidebar! It is still kind of big- but I'll work on that later. Thanks again.
