 * I’ve installed plugins and widgets in the past, so I know what I’m doing.
 * I installed and activate this plugin/widget on two WordPress sites. It didn’t
   show up on the Widgets page for either of them.
 * So deleted both installations.
 * Perhaps someone else has created widget that will enable users to put images 
   in the sidebar.

 * Sorry it didn’t work for you, Bruce.
 * This is the first I’ve heard of it not working as expected and would be curious
   to find out why in case it might help anyone else experiencing the same issue.
   Feel free to open a thread in the support forum if you’d like to help get to 
   the bottom of this.

 * I found an easier fix.
 * I simply used a text widget.
 * Then I looked for the code for an image source. I think I found it on the W3 
   site.
 * Then I copied that code into the text box.
 * Then I went to the image, clicked on it, and copied the file URL.
 * And then it was a case of a little experimentation with putting the URL into 
   the source code.
 * So now it works.
 * No widget and no CSS.
