Just wanted to let folks know about a WordPress plugin I just discovered: Image Widget WordPress Plugin. I’m adding this plugin to my list of standard plugins to install on client websites. The plugin lets you directly upload and position images on the sidebar, saving a step if you usually upload images to the Media library and then manually add to the sidebar using the tag. Any time clients are required to use HTML code things can get a little tricky, so I’m thrilled to have my clients start using it.

One caveat: you can’t have the same image in more than one Image Widget, so if you have more than one sidebar, and want the same image on both, you’ll need to upload the image twice and rename the second one to use it in the widget. Otherwise, it’s a great plugin for giving clients the ability to add images to a sidebar without using code.
