    Is there a way I can add an image in my sidebar that can link to my about page? I see a widget for text but not one to insert an image in the sidebar. Thank you!

    Hi tmh12. Add this code to the text widget:

    <a href="http://your-page-url/">
    <img src="http://path-to-your-iamge.jpg" />
</a>

    Thanks bdbrown!

    I know to substitute the url of the page I want to link to in a href, but how do I upload an image to a place on my website for that second line of code <img src=___>?

    Either (a) add it to your Media Library, then edit the image and get the URL from the meta box on the right sidebar, or (b) upload it to a folder on your site using your host file manager or FTP, then use that path as the URL.
