    I want to add a PayPal “Donate” button to our nonprofit art/culture site. We also want to add a couple of JPG’s with hotlinks to local art events.

    Question #1: Where should I place the code for the button so that it appears at the top of the sidebar?

    Question#2: Should I try and go through WP-Admin and the templates OR go into the sidebar.php page and configure it there. I know that much of the sidebar is propagated dynamically through the templates in admin. I am more comfortable with code. Also, I can set a #advertisement style in the CSS style sheet.

    tried to add image by drag and drop. no go. so I tried through coding and that didn’t make it appear either. coding below:

    \\ <img src=”raggedmountainvoice.org/wp-content/themes/mistylook/img/ad1_raggedmtnvoice.jpg\

    trying to put up an ad for an event. file is sized to width of sidebar. You can see a little hickey on the categories box at the top of the sidebar where the change is doing something, but that’s it.
    Suggestions?

    well the img src keeps being hyperlinked by the a href statement in front of it. I was trying to make a hotlink of the jpg. ANyway, can’t get the image to appear in the sidebar through the use of Add Text/HTML in Widgets.

    you should

    <img src="https://raggedmountainvoice.org/wp-content/themes/mistylook/img/ad1_raggedmtnvoice.jpg" >

    add the above code thru your widget settings > add text
    in your admin panel
    /wp-admin/widgets.php

    then you can arrange your widgets..

    It seems straight forward, but it didn’t work. I checked the file name and all is correct. Any suggestions?
