Deleting the spaces after the < and before the >; type, using this sample illustration:
< img src="pasteYOURurlHERE" >
It will look something like this:
< img src="http://www.babes4bush.com/misc/support_iraq.gif" > but the only space you will retain is after img and before src
Hit Preview
If you get the Dreaded Red X, check your HTML letter by letter.
