This hopefully will post. The subject is people, as indisinct as they might be. They were all taking an intermission stretch at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. Maybe some photos do better without high resolution.

Oops. Maybe this will work.

Tony -- Thank you. Could you please post the html that you used for that?

Jeff, you had it perfect on your second try except that you left of part of the URL from the photo.net site, i.e. the size=lg parameter.

Your first try was OK except that you didn't leave a space between the IMG and the SRC key words.

What I do first is go to the actual image and display it on the browser. This has the effect of producing the actaul URL automatically to reduce typing and the chance for error. Then highlight the URL in the Location: field, and do a Ctrl-C to copy the address into the paste buffer. Then in the body of my post I type <img src=""> after which I move the cursor to the second " mark and press Ctrl-V to paste the address between the quote marks.

The photograph is interesting, by the way. I like how all the people are blurry yet the viewer knows it's a field of people. It reminds me of how artists draw crowds. It also reminds me somewhat of a famous Eisenstaedt (sp?) photograph. It could perhaps use a touch more printing contrast.

Duly noted. Thank you. I forgot to mention that this was taken with a Kodak Retina II, f2.0 Xenon lens wide open. Folded, it fits in my hip pocket and the shutter is almost silent.
