Step 3: Create a new block. HTML. say where you want it [left,right,center]
Step 4: After you save the box look under it in the list of blocks for Edit HTML. Click that NOW!
Step 5: Once the page has loaded you will need to add this in the white box.
<a href="URL"><img src="PIC NAME" width="SIZE" height="SIZE" alt="TEXT"></a>
*Things to edit: URL is the page [e.g: Fourms.] Pic Name is the Pic URL. Size is the size of the image if you want to change it [i suggest that you keep it the default size of the original image; by not filling in the SIZE parts.]
