I loaded the Image and ImageField modules. I was able to import my four images.
I went to Site Building >> Blocks and saw three options to display my images:
- Attached images
- Latest image
- Random image
I tried Attached images, but I couldn't get them to display in my Right Sidebar.
The other two worked and I am now using Random Image set to 4.
How can I get Attached images to work?
My other question is on making an image an a href. I want to be able to click the image and go to a new page. How can I do this?
Thank you for your help.

before you continue...
How will you be using images in your site? In 95% of the sites I build, I prefer the combination of the imagefield and imagecache modules over the image module. Many people believe that imagecache+imagefield is the way forward, especially with d7 coming up. If you haven't done so already, I recommend that you read about the differences between those two solutions before continuing.

Where can I read about the differences between image and imagecache+imagefield? I have both image and imagefield loaded - are they interfering with each other?

They can interfere with each other if you try to add an imagefield field to the 'image' content type created by the image module.
As for reading about modules-- the best place to start is by following the 'read documentation' link on the module's project pages. Another good place to look is in the module's directory-- there are frequently readme.txt and/or install.txt files that contain valuable info.

image as an href ...Do you
image as an href ...Do you want to click the image and open the image on a new window or do you want to click the image and open a diffirent url/new page...
I think what you want can be done using CCK ... Administer -->Content Management -->Content type -->you select on manage fields of the content type you created --->display fields --> you will see the option under teaser or full node .... I guess this is what you want to do ...
How to display could be done using Views ..you can create a block view and have it shown on the front page ...
Try watching the video on Learnbythedrop website ..you will have a better understand ..or try getting hold of the book UsingDrupal ...Chapter 7

I want to click the image and open a different url/new page.
I just unloaded image. I am going forward with imagefield+imagecache. Imagecache seems to require imageapi, which says: "It only provides an API other modules can leverage. Currently GD2 and ImageMagick support are distributed with ImageAPI.". So which do I use and where do I get it? It doesn't say.
Presumably, this will give me an Image content type, that I can then do what you are saying. I saw a few fields for URL, but I couldn't drag them to a content type or group. Confused.
Thanks.

When you click on the image, you will go to the URL.

It works! This is what I added:
<a href="http://www.virginia.gov" target="_blank"><img src="http://mySite.org/sites/default/files/seal_virginia.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="220" /></a>Should I be referencing the image by 'sites/default/files/'? Or should it be a content that I reference through 'content/contentName'? When I had the Image module loaded it gave me an Image content type to do this with. I don't have an Image content type in imagecache/imagefield.

I would use a relative url and not an absolute url
