Hey everyone,

I am a total noob at web building i am only good at SEO and content writing and i am a bit stuck at the moment, i have an image that i have had made it is 300x250 i want the image to link to a different page on my website its more to get people around the site and it is to go in the sidebar with the other widgets but i am not sure how i can code it in the text widget to make it show and link.

Thanks in advance.

This is pretty simple, if you are using the simple text widget that comes with WordPress you use something like this just fill in your information. Also there are widgets that you can download that make it easy as well but this is an easy solution

Good Luck,

Derricks solution is the most efficient and simplest for putting in one ad like you managed, but if you come to need to insert more ads into your site, maybe in different positions or in between posts etc. try getting the plugin called WP Insert, it makes all this stuff REALLY easy! Good luck!

a bit more of a complicated question if even possible would there be a way to rotate these images?

Thanks

You'd want to look at getting a widget there are plenty of them out there that will rotate your images. I think the post above this question from "hootz" mentioned WP Insert which is a really good plugin...just make sure you are finding a plug in that works with your most current and update version of WordPress.

Hey Bud,

Here is a nice little plugin that would allow you to add rotating images in your sidebar widget.
