 When testing the image widget recently, I found that many of the folks I
 tested with confused the image URL field with a place to add a link to
 their image. It says "URL," so people expect they can select and paste a
 URL into it. It's also is automatically focused when you select an image,
 which immediately draws some attention to it.

 We could consider reorganizing this sidebar so that that the URL is placed
 either lower down, or in a different location, and have something like
 “Title” first. We could also, at the very least, consider updating the
 Image URL label, maybe even just from “URL” to “Image URL?”
