Adding image to WordPress
sidebar or widget area is not easy especially for beginners. If you’ve just migrated from Blogger to WordPress, you will be shocked to discover that WordPress by default, doesn’t have an image widget that can allow you to easily upload images to your blog’s sidebar.
In order to add an image a user needs to manually add the HTML code in the text widget. Even if you’ve installed the JetPack plugin for WordPress , the JetPack Image widget doesn’t support image upload. You will have to manually enter the URL of the image etc
So, in this article, I’ve decided to share with you, a WordPress plugin that will allow you upload, link to external image, or select an image from your media collection using the built in thickbox browser. The simple image widget uses the native WordPress media manager to add image widgets to your site.
