If the image URL is say http://www.freerepublic.com/pics/bushthanksgiving.jpg , then to display it in a post, with a link text of A man of honour, type:

<img src="http://www.freerepublic.com/pics/bushthanksgiving.jpg"> A man of honour </a>

And to FairOpinion, if you want to display a less-than character without having to add a space, type the four characters &lt; in its place.

"type the four characters < in its place." == Thanks. :) One of these days I have to learn HTML.

Hillary Clinton met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai today, mistakenly thinking he was actor Ben Kingsley. When she solicited him for his obligatory Leftist-Hollywood donation to her non-campaign, Karzai indicated he was in the middle of a serious cash crunch.

The former first lady was later heard to mutter, "That silly little man. I never liked him in Gandhi."

Ack darn splat -- I was mixing my html metaphors.

Images don't get link text. Just type:

<img src="http://www.freerepublic.com/pics/bushthanksgiving.jpg">

Sorry.
