Because I can never get a straight answer for a simple solution to include an image in a block with a easy-to-use interface for non-technical folk.
Image block is a module where one can create a simple block that includes an image. This module also integrates with
Imagecache for dynamic image sizing and manipulation.
How to use:
1. Enable Image block module.
2. Navigate to admin/build/block.
3. Click the "Add image block" link in the local tasks menu.
4. Configure your image block, and save.
