Actions: Adding Images to Your Sidebar
Theme: All


The idea is to make your journal's sidebar have image links rather than the navbar links at the top or just for an added look to your journal. So I'm going to attempt to explain it to you.

1. First, you'll need the images. This image here of a sidebar shows me that this blogger made her images or had them made. I'm going to use some off the net.


2. When you have your images you'll need to upload them to a Image Location like PhotoBucket. You are going to need the Direct Link that PhotoBucket provides. If you wish to save the images in your Scrapbook you'll need to check out this tutorial.

3. Go to Customize Journal Style>Sidebar. You will be working in the Blurb or Free Text Box.
Make sure your second line as shown says that you want to show the blurb/free text box on your sidebar. You do not have to enter a title if you are trying to make a link system.
