Newbie needs to add images to left & right sides

I would like to know which files and code to modify so that I can add an image below the Information category on the left hand side, and also to add an image under the Bestsellers category on the right hand side.

OMG NEWBIE!

EDIT: catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/layout.tpl

FIND: And before the last </div>, add the image code you want

Do the same for the column_right block

So fast! Thank you so much!

Hi Qphoria, I did that and my images don't show up. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
See code below:

<div id="container">
<div id="header"><?php echo $header; ?></div>
<div id="breadcrumb">
<?php foreach ($breadcrumbs as $breadcrumb) { ?>
<?php echo $breadcrumb['separator']; ?><a href="<?php echo $breadcrumb['href']; ?>"><?php echo $breadcrumb['text']; ?></a>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<div id="column_left">
<?php foreach ($modules as $module) { ?>
<?php if ($module['position'] == 'left') { ?>
<?php echo ${$module['code']}; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<img src="../../image/specials_box.png">
</div>
<div id="column_right">
<?php foreach ($modules as $module) { ?>
<?php if ($module['position'] == 'right') { ?>
<?php echo ${$module['code']}; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<img src="../../image/specials_box2.png">
</div>
<div id="content"><?php echo $content; ?></div>
<div id="footer"><?php echo $footer; ?></div>
</div>

The golden rule of relative paths....
Always use the absolute path to prove that your code works. Then change to relative paths when you know it works.

I think its only one level up... or maybe 3.. play around with it. But first make sure it works by using the full path to the images.

hi!
form your main image folder put your pictures and write like this
<img src="image/rightbanner.jpg" />
this is working.

Hi, many thanks to both of you!!! It is working now. Thanks again!
