They'll always be on this page starting tonight, you can access them from the archive post (http://www.blogher.com/nablopomo-november-2011-wri..., and they're tweeted nightly at @BlogHerBlogging.

Melissa Ford Just clicked on the link on 11/1/11 @ 8:07am and I'm getting a 404 landing page. Same with all of the links on this page: http://www.blogher.com/november-nablopomo-comes-pr... I really would like to sign up for the newsletter. Any suggestions?

It looks like the link above is just pulling in an extra symbol -- a closed parenthesis. If you erase that, it works. All the links on the other page work for me too. Not sure how you're getting a 404 with them. Why don't you email me and I can walk you through getting signed up for the newsletter: melissa.ford@blogher.com

Oddyssey I like your badge!

Denise Thanks!

Right click over the image and select "View Image Info". There is a line labeled "Location". Copy the http://..... that is listed there and paste that in the URL line. :) Hope that helps!

You know what? That didn't even work out for me this time. Sigh.

TortoiseMum Give me just two seconds and I'll expose the code that you would copy/paste into an html box.

Might depend on your platform, but here's what I do in case it helps you. The photo has to be uploaded to your blog or somewhere else in order to be used in the widget. You can do this from something already loaded in your gallery, or something you need to upload from your computer.

I use Wordpress and to add photos I want to use in my side bar, I choose the text/html widget, not the one for images. Don't panic, here's how: First I create a draft post to upload the photo I want to use, tweak the size data and links, then insert it into my draft post. Use the new draft post as a working space of sorts to get the image the way you want it. Put a border with it, add a caption, whatever. Get it looking the way you want, aligned the way you want (right, left, center, etc.).

Once it's inserted into my post and the way I want it, then I click on the html view of my draft, copy the whole string of code info generated by the insert and then go back to the widget and paste that into the text/html widget for my sidebar. If you look at my site, you'll see how I have mine displayed. My side bar is full of photos. I use a lot of html widgets to make everything line up the way I want, add text in strategic places, etc..

You can also create a new post, insert the image, publish the post and then make that post a sticky that stays at the top of your page.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, Abberant...I blog on WordPress, too, and was totally stumped until I saw these directions that you shared. Got the badge on my blog now! Woo hoo!
