@Anne Marie Definitely because with Blogger you have different options that you can use that makes it easier.

Whereas with a WordPress powered blog you need to use HTML code in the text widget.

Each blogging platform has it pros/cons; for me biggest negative of Blogger is lack of pages.

Hi
Is this a lot easier to do in blogger? All I had to do was ‘add a gadget’, then ‘add a picture’ where I copied in image URL (http://edublogawards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/most_influential_blog_post.png) and then added caption “Vote here”, and added the link to the voting page, in case anyone actually wanted to vote for me!
See result on my blog

Thanks

@Jenny Glad it helped. Now I’m sure you want to hear the Sue Water’s sneaky tricky for writing the HMTL code?

The easiest method is just open up a new post (Post > Add New). Grab the image URL and insert the image into the post using the Add An Image Icon. For the box that says Link image to you just add the URL of the page you want to link to.

Once you’ve added all those details just click Insert into Post – to add the image to your post. Presto! Your visual Editor has just written the HTML code for you.

Now just click on HTML tab and copy all of the HMTL code then paste into a text widget.

PS don’t tell any one Sue cheats :)

Thanks Sue. I have so many problems with widget code embedding into my sidebar. This went in easy. Of course, the code was written by a true professional!
