Insert Logo in Sidebar

[EWKrause]

Greetings All. First, to Chris, thanks for the great theme design. I'll send in a link to my own site once I've tweaked & played with it. I'm a pushover for clean, crisp design and found it here. (I'm using 1.4 in WP 2.7.1)

Wanting to insert a small, square logo in the right sidebar, similar to the SplashMedia logo on the Cutline Home page. Not sure how or where to go to do that.

Thanks,

Elaine Krause

Hi Elaine, are you using Widgets in the sidebar of your blog? Doing so should make things a bit easier.

Look for the text widget and add it to the sidebar, then click on Edit and add some HTML to display the image, like so:

<img src="http://www.yourblog.com/url-of-image.jpg" alt="" />

You'll have to know what the URL of the logo is.

Now the downside of using widgets is that it wipes out all the default elements of the sidebar that are built into the Cutline theme. It's not a big deal if you want to customize your sidebar with widgets in the first place, you'll just have to re-add stuff via the Widgets section just like the Text widget earlier.

If you want to keep your sidebar as is, let me know, so I can tell you how you can edit your sidebar.php file to insert the logo.

I was updating my blog today with the latest WP and Cutline, and wanted to know how to do the same thing…so, yes, I want to know how to do it? edit the sidebar.php?

If you want to edit using sidebar.php, you can add a new li to the list like so:

<li class="widget">
<img src="http://www.yourblog.com/url-of-image.jpg" alt="" />
</li> 

As mentioned above, you must know the URL of the image you want to display.

Try adding that right after this line:

<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(1)) : ?>
