Like this:

If the URL for the picture is xxx...

(but don't put space between the brackets, I just did that so you could see what I was doing.)

Here's an example. I'll do it without the brackets so you can see.

img src="http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/604/0722071754ti7.jpg";

With the brackets added back in, you get:

Thanks Violetta! I've tried it several different ways from my pictures in the Garden Web Photo Galleries. Let me try again:

Darn, it didn't work again! Is there someplace other than the Garden Galleries that everyone posts their pictures too?

Thanks again,
Dee

p.s. And to think, I used to be a web designer in my previous life before becoming disabled and sitting at home alone for most of the last 4 years! I've lost my brain!!

Is this the one you're trying to link to?

Okay, that's not funny :) How did you do that? Please!!!

I can't figure out what you did wrong! I looked at the source code and it looks right, unless you just pasted the URL for the picture wrong?

Yep, looks like that's the problem. This is the URL you used:

photos.gardenweb.com/garden/galleries/2007/08/clematis_ruutel.jpeg

This is the URL cnetter used:

http://photos.ivillage.com/images/photos/resize/gardenweb_Garden%20Galleries_1186006541455_225223D.jpg

I don't think you did anything wrong; there's just something wacky about the gardenweb upload feature.

I use imageshack for all my uploads. It's free and you don't have to register if you don't want to, and I've never had any problems with it.

I used to use Imagestation but now I pay for unlimited storage capacity on Photobucket. For $25 per year, I think it is a steal. You can also get free accounts but they limit the number of photos you can store online.

I use Photobucket, the free version. Even free, you get to store a huge amount of photos and the URL will be much simpler.

I went and looked for a clematis photo by Deeg in the garden galleries and noticed the URL for the image was very different from the one Deeg posted. I wasn't sure it was the same one. Don't know why they make it so complex there. The URLs for the pics I've uploaded to Hortiplex aren't that complicated.

Okay, I think I have it now. I've uploaded them all to Image Shack.

Here's the image:

I hope this works or I'm giving up!
