Blog hint for XTreme beginners Ok, I finally got an image up on my page. Here's how I did it:


1.  Choose "rolling" for your theme
2.  Use sdtimage's snapshot capability to snapshot a region exactly
    the right size for the right sidebar, save the image to a file.
    (I'll blog more about this image later.)
3.  Go to the "files" section of your "Website" tab and upload the
    image.
4.  right-click the image name and open in a new window.  Then copy
    the URL.
5.  Go to "Page Templates" in your Website tab and choose to edit
    _sideColumn.  

    Add this right under div id="SideBar" EXCEPT of course there are
    those less-than and greater-than brackets around each of these
    lines:

        div class="box"
       img src=http://blogs.sfbay.sun.com/roller/resources/YOURIMAGE
        /div

....now save.

BTW, I got the URL for the image-maker from my daughter. I'm going to make a donation because 1. I'm a cat person and 2. I'm happy with the image, but DISCLAIMER TIME: before my daughter gave me the URL I had never heard of these folks and Sun has nothing to do with them that I know of etc etc etc:
