Adding Linkable Graphics to WordPress Sidebar

If you have a blog you will want to be updating your sidebars with linkable graphics.   Although this is easy to do, it is easily forgotten as well since you only have to update the sidebars every once in a while.

My SUN Newsletter customers have been asking me to post the same graphics we use in my newsletters. Below are step-by-step directions for importing the Online Ordering graphic into WordPress.  I’ll add directions for blogger in the next couple days.   I will also post the graphics here monthly as well.  So stay tuned!

WordPress

1. In WordPress go to Design > Widgets
2. You will want to add a TEXT widget.  I know I don’t understand it either.
3. Add the text widget first and then save it.
4. Now EDIT the Text Widget
5. You will want to copy and paste the code into the text area and select CHANGE
6. SAVE CHANGES

That’s it!

Here’s the code.

It will look like this:
