Here's a preview of the vertical image :



You could also find your own image and use that.

Lets add it to your blog :

(Tick the 'Expand widget templates' box)

2.Find the following piece of code in the html:
(Click 'CTRL & F' for a search box to find the code)

]]></b:skin>

3.Now Add the following piece of code Directly Above ]]></b:skin>

#float_corner {
position:fixed;_position:absolute;top:3px;right:3px;clip:
inherit;_top:expression(document.documentElement.scrollTop+document.documentElement.clientHeight-this.clientHeight);_left:expression(document.documentElement.scrollLeft + document.documentElement.clientWidth - offsetWidth);}

You can change the following attributes : top :right
Change them to make the image appear were you like :

top left
top right
bottom left
bottom right

4.Now find this code in your html :

</body>

5.And place this code Directly Above </body>:

For Vertical Image Add This Code :

<div id="float_corner">
<a href="http://www.spiceupyourblog.com/2009/12/how-to-add-fixed-floating-merry.html">
<img src="http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad259/spiceupyourblog/small_1950427.gif" border="0" /></a>
</div>

For Horizontal Image Add This Code :

<div id="float_corner">

<img src="http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad259/spiceupyourblog/poinsettia_2_text.gif" border="0" /></a>
</div>

To add a second floating image just repeat the steps making sure to add the image to a different corner,to use your own image replace the image URL with your own image URL.
