From time-to-time you may want to be able to add a few quick links and images to your sidebar.  For example you have a new designation, logo, contact info, or fun images you want to share with your site visitors.  The Text Widget is a great tool to make this happen quickly.

Where do I find the TEXT Widget ?

Locate the TEXT Widget by navigating to “Appearance” >> “Widgets” in the left hand navigation panel in your dashboard.  Click on “Widgets”

Locate the “Text” Widget in the list of Widgets and click to open.
