You’re very welcome! BTW, are the quotation marks around url of picture part of the entry, or have you used them to set it apart for demo purposes?

Quotation marks around the url is standard HTML format. Leave off one of the quotation marks and you won't see the image. That's for me. That's how I build a reply on FR that includes images.

It's normal HTML usage. I write in bare HTML. I never use a wysiwyg editor. What that means is that my webpages are readable. So you can take any page of my website and look at the underlying HTML and see how the lines are structured.

So, for example, I have a page of art links to Daily Mail articles. Each line gives the a href that is the link, and embedded in the middle are the words that say what the link IS on the webpage. In this case, it's an icon.

So in the middle of an a href, you'll always find an img src.

I see the html for one of my pages by clicking Alt-U on a page, but I use Firefox. I don't know what you do in your browser to see the underlying HTML, but see what options you get when you right click on one of my pages. One of mine is View Page Source.

Here's a page that's even better. It's one single image on a white page showing Santa on an old fashioned phone.

Santa on phone

Do a View Page Source equivalent on that page!

I have a bunch of small pages that I built to teach HTML to people, but I'd have to search for them.

I started my website back in 1993, and these pages still use that old, old-fashioned HTML. I had to get current when I did the e-books, but current is just not as readable as the old way of doing it. My personal website is about 15,000 pages and the same in the Henry Livingston website, so I do this a lot. I'm ALWAYS willing to help, so please feel free if there's anything I can do for you.
