Strict interpretation of HTML states that ALT attribute is used for showing text when images are turned off. IE will show you the ALT as the TITLE when there is no TITLE. This little IE thing is handy, but promotes bad usage of the ALT tag for people like me! :( I also use Firefox and Opera from time to time, I need to do that more! If you add the TITLE attribute in addition, this should correctly have the "popup" effect that you are looking for. Directly after the alt="text" add title="text" and that should fix it. I'll change my tutorial to include that little correction! :) Thanks for all of your work! J. Pisano Keith,

I know Nothing! about code for websites. However, your excellent directions made it a breeze to place the logo in the sidebar of the Music Tech for ME site. The only aspect not working is the alt "Hover" text. I could not see it via Firefox or Safari. I double checked the code and it was correct. Any ideas? Keith Mason Music Tech for ME Joe,

I think any WordPress user will find it useful as it allows you to do something that isn't really part of the "feature set". The tutorial isn't hard and it's found here: http://www.mustech.net/2008/01/me-bloggers-posting-images-in-the-sidebar-of-a-wordpresscom-site/ Best regards, J. Pisano Ken,

I've been able to find some directions on how to put the graphic into a post with a link, but not on the main page of a WP blog. -Ken Joe-

I run a wordpress.org site (independent) here. I have a wordpress.com site and will come up with a quick way to do this on your site and others. I'm not exactly sure where the wordpress.com sites upload the files too when you upload them. Tell you what... I'll check on my two wordpress.com (BETA sites), figure it out and post a tutorial post about here in the next day. Thanks! Joe Ken,
