I NEED A THINGY ON THE SIDE

Lots of you seem to able to do it!

But I can't!

Can anyone help?

What I would like to do is put a little "thingy" on the side of the page to show that I am linking up or taking part in something that somebody else is doing.

For example Shelley at meggymoo
has organised a love hearts swap 

AND everyone else taking part has seemed to get the icon on the side and when you click on it, you are take to her page.

Simple?  Well I thought so.  I had emailed Joy who sent me some very clear instructions.  I added the HTML gadget, went to the "thingy", copied the image location and opened it in the box and all I get is a web page address and no pretty icon.

I would be very happy if someone could help me?  Thanks xxx

Update Update Update Update Update.....
YES! YES! YES!  I HAVE DONE IT!!

Thank you Tracy for your help, I had the wrong gadget.  It was so easy!!!

I think you will need to use the image gadget rather than the HTML one it should bring up a box allowing you to add an image, a title, a caption and to add a link too, let me know if you need anymore help xx
