Transcript for The Text Widget for WordPress

The Text widget's pretty versatile, because not only does it allow you to enter a kind of a section of text— for anything you like—with a title, and then a main section underneath that, but it also allows you to add HTML, which in turn means that you can add links, you can add HTML formatting, and you can even add images. To do that, you'll need to use some basic HTML code, which look a bit like this: here I'm creating a link for an item using HTML. Now, if that worries you or you think, "I don't know HTML at all," I'm going to now show you a quick resource that will help you out with copy and paste examples to get this done really quickly. So as you'll see, with this line here, I've just created a link to my other blog, and if I wanted to create an image, I would use something like this, followed by the web location of the image. So, if you want to find out a lot more about this, because it's more than we can cover in this short tutorial, you're going to want to head to http://w3schools.com, where you'll find lots of examples and resources to get you started.
