My sidebar

I’ve added text widgets from the presentation tag (Presentation –> widget) and used simple html tags to add images, text, etc for whatever I want to fill the space.

davey, what your wanting to do is really simple, if you know basic html of course. in your admin panel go to presentation and then choose theme editor. there will be a list that shows all the files in the theme directory your using, choose sidebar. between any </li> and <li> tag is where you want to add anything else. just add another starting <li> and an ending </li> where you would like your image or whatever, and put your html or even php code into there and save it, check out your page for results, make needed changed if you have to.

i am not a big html editor. for some crazy reason i picked up flash action script a lot easier. is there a way to do this.. i mean will it work… design an image layout in dreamweaver, picure etc.. then copy and paste that HTML into the side bar. does it work like that.

if not can you point me in a direction of a small tutorial. thanks

i know nothing about dreamweaver, as long as you have an image (gif, jpg, etc…) than all you have to do is use the following sample, substitute everthing in quotes as needed but do not remove quotes.

<li><img src="PathTo/image.jpg"></li>
the above code should be put right after any </li> and/or before any <li> tag. test it out, see where it shows up, then if its not where you like it, simply move the whole line of code i just gave you either up or down in the list following all the rules above. you will get it to show up where you want it. if you want to center your image in the sidebar then use
<li><center><img src="PathTo/image.jpg"></center></li>

You mentioned you removed those things, how? By the theme editor or the widget panel?

It’s be much easier if you’re using a widget-ready theme.You can just go to Presentation>Widget. Add as many text widget as you want. Depends on how you want to organise it you can just add a simple HTML code in it. For example <img src=”your url”> for adding in a picture. Just that easy!

PS: It works the same with gif or any other image files (unless it’s flash).

is there anyway to add a widget…. i am not using a widget ready theme. thanks so much. check it out https://www.overflowuk.com i already made some changes..
