How do I add an image to the sidebar in Welcome?

This was a question from Shirley, Dairy Fresh Foods
The sidebar has normally a restricted width of 280px so you need to make sure that you select the right size of image. Upload the document into the Administrative section, Documents. This creates a small, normal and large image that are optimised for the web e.g.
Thumbnail image with path as: http://www.dairyfreshfoods.co.uk/dairyfreshfoods/pictures/small/002838.jpg
Normal sized image with path as: http://www.dairyfreshfoods.co.uk/dairyfreshfoods/pictures/normal/002838.jpg
Large image with path as: http://www.dairyfreshfoods.co.uk/dairyfreshfoods/pictures/large/002838.jpg
Also the original image is stored as: http://www.dairyfreshfoods.co.uk/dairyfreshfoods/documents/002838.bmp
Now follow the instructions in the blog:

Remember that the sidebar is a narrower width so you may need to use the small thumbnail image, so just replace where it says normal in the filename path to small.

There again, small maybe too small so keeping the link to the normal sized image:
- use the Edit icon to view the HTML
- within the img tag, add style="width: 270px;" or whatever sizes well within the sidebar
- select Submit and you'll see it take immediate effect... you adjust the width as you see fit.
Example in Jamey Guiney web site's home sidebar.
