   So I have a three bar column just like above it... Anyhow my picture in column three won't load. I have no clue why. I have it hosted on photobucket and I have tried the image code, the direct link, and the html code to know avail. Currently, the html code is still on there. Can anyone tell me why my picture is not showing as a picture? Thanks. my link is http://www.superstarmusicmarketing.com/opt-in

   View the source of that web page and you'll see the problem. It's been converted from valid HTML to HTML entities, probably when you cut and pasted the code. Or it's being made safe by whatever is outputting that.

   Instead of <img src= you're really got <img src= which will display a less than but it's not really an HTML tag.

   So what's the solution? You said instead of <img src you're really got <img src= You typed the exact same thing so I'm not understanding what the solution is or what you're really saying. Also, this stuff is like spanish to me I'm learning slowly so can you give me a more dumbed down explanation please?

   The WordPress forums ate my formatting...

   What I meant was the<img src= is being formatted out as & lt ;img=. (less the spaces) it's not valid HTML code.

   Just view the source of your web page and you'll see the differences. To fix it, put the valid HTML code like you did the other columns.

   The thing is how do I know what the valid code would be? I uploaded the pic of my computer to photobucket and apparently photobucket gave me an invalid code. That being said, how do I make an invalid code a valid code? Obviously photobucket thinks it gave me the right code right?

   How are you getting that code into WordPress? A plugin? Theme template?

   However you got that HTML, take that and paste it into notepad or anyother non-frill text editor. Then paste it into your text widget/theme file/whatnot.

   If it goes well you'll have valid HTML code. If it goes not well, you'll have HTML entities which is where you are now.
