Aha! Just read the rest of your post. (sorry about that)

Your computer is probably retrieving the photo from you own hard drive. FR can't do that. It has to be hosted on a website somewhere.

You can sign up at various places that let you upload your photos for free. I use Photobucket.com

Here is a photo to practice with:

What I typed in: <p><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/ftogyeppf/snoopy-flag-Halfmast-sm.gif">

If you right click on the photo and choose properties, you can see the matchiing URL

Many websites will block links of pics. You can see them but you can’t link them.

[calcowgirl]

I think that works!

What I typed: <p><img width="300" src="http://us.f13.yahoofs.com/bc/47d5d57c_34f/bc/try/gorror.jpg?bfMsL2HB1sW85GLg">

Note that I added "width="300" because the photo was big and I wanted to downsize it. (When you right click > properties > you see that the original size was 608 X 774 which was kind of big)

[calcowgirl]

That’s also true... but it seemed to work in this case.

[calcowgirl]

It worked for a minute, anyway. It went blank, then came back. Not sure what’s up with that. I think maybe that photo got saved by my own computer and retrieved it from the cache, or something.

I highly recommend photobucket! Remember, the photo will only show up as long as the original source photo remains at the link used.

(ThomasThomsas, can you see the pic when I posted it in #224?)

Here you go:

<img src="http://us.f13.yahoofs.com/bc/47d5d57c_34f/bc/try/gorror.jpg?bfMsL2HB1sW85GLg" width="377" height="404" border="2" alt="gorror.jpg">

The width and height can be changed to get a better 'fit', just keep the ratio about equal. The alt is for those that have images turned off, so it doesn't just leave a blank space on the page. Looks like this --

Yes, I have a photobuck account that I use for my photos but not whatI find on the net.

[ThomasThomas]

Yous is gone now.

I think they have blocking software that slips up sometimes.

ping for later

[calcowgirl]

I used to take them off the net, too—until I saw someone who owned the picture on their website
change the photo to something other than what was originally posted, LOL.
User Beware! (photobucket is safer, IMO)

If it’s yahoo, or something, I’ll post pics from other sites. But nothing from unknown sources.

[calcowgirl]

It seems to disappear on a “refresh” but reappear on a new page load. (I clicked “last” and voila!)

[brityank]

You know, it's funny but occasionally my FF with ZA fails to load pics -- gets sent to 127.0.0.1 instead of the real address -- then a reload brings it in. Haven't found a fix yet.

You can also add align="right" into the link, and flow the text around the pic, similar to this:

Kabul suicide bomber kills five



At least five civilians are reported to have been killed in a blast near the airport in the Afghan capital Kabul.

The suicide bomber targeted an armoured vehicle during rush hour, The Associated Press reports, quoting Afghan police.

Correspondents say the road is regularly used by foreign troops deployed in the country.

The road has been the scene of a series of suicide attacks by Taleban insurgent fighters in recent years.

Thanks,I will skip Yahoo and post to PhotoBucket instead.
I;m a slow learner but eventually I get to my WAAAWAA moment. BTW no one commented on my artwork

[calcowgirl]

I’ve never had a problem with photobucket — Good luck!

As to the artwork, I kind of relate to those two characters with the pitchfork and
cringe at any desecration of the flag. But the photoshopping looked great, LOL.

[calcowgirl]

Oh... my apologies! I really hadn't looked at the content of the picture (I was up too late last night).
Now I looked at the faces--and I do NOT relate to those two folks.
I love the hammer and sickle broach, LOL.

(yeah... I snatched your photo and put it on photobucket)

Bump.
