The Image widget provides you with a simple way to display an image in your blog’s sidebar.

Widget title – The title to be displayed above the image.

URL of image to display – The valid URL of the image you wish to display. Check the URL in a browser before adding it to the widget. Note that the URL should end with an extension specific to an image file (such as .jpg, .gif, .png, etc.).

Alternate text – Text to be used as a replacement whenever the image cannot be viewed.

Image title – Text to be displayed as a tooltip (when a mouse pointer is hovered over the image).

Caption – Text to be displayed as caption under the image. When a caption is used, the image and caption will have a border style added.

Image Alignment – How to align the image; choices: left, right, center, none.

Width – The width (in px) to display the image as. This should be a value equal to or less than your theme’s sidebar. If you leave this empty, the widget will attempt to determine the original width of the image and use that.

Height – The height (in px) to display the image as. If you leave this empty, the widget will attempt to determine the original height of the image and use that.

Link URL – The URL to load when the image is clicked.
