Bookmarking your image posting command.
Add in ProtectOurFreedom’s advice. My keyboard always types straight doublequotes. That’s what should be in the image command.
MORE THAN YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IMAGES:
Images only get tricky in that your url must be of an image already on the web. Most people use a free service to PUT the image from their computer ONTO the web. I believe those services keep the image up temporarily. I have two gargantuan websites so I always use the top of my own website as the place I stuff the image and then later, if I remember, delete it from my website.
Most browsers let you examine a webpage. The newest HTML pages are unreadable as they’re pulled together from various places. I work in way old HTML, so my pages are completely readable. I do it so that I have control over layout on my pages. In my browser, Ctrl-U applied to a page creates a new tab showing the HTML of that page.
Here’s the simplest HTML of any of my pages. It just posts an image.

I tried putting up the url of my view of the HTML but FR blocks that url and just shows the page again. So you have to find out how YOUR browser lets you see HTML. My Firefox browser uses Ctrl-U.
I don’t have a long url for the image name because it’s relying on where my page is to find the image. Your url will be long.
After you tell HTML that you want an image, you add a bunch of constraints you want the image to have, or information about the image that you know.
So border, for example, says whether to put a visible border around your picture. Border=0 says no border. Border=1 says yes, thin border. Up the number and you up the thickness of your border. Which is pretty to do if you have a nice landscape photo, but wrecks your page if you were showing a cereal box on a white background photo on a page with a white background.
Alt says that if the image can’t be found, show this name.
