I’ve never actually tried but you have tried:
<img src=”location” alt=”alt txt” />
In “Code View” ??
If you haven’t then try doing that. There is also an “IMG” button on the “Code View” window screen which does exactly the same step by step for you.
To switch to code view click the self titled label above the write post textarea.
Thanks for the reply but that’s my point – there is no “code view” in my write post window. There are no quick-tag buttons such as appear above the posting window here in the forum.
OK, I got the quick-tags to appear but now the pictures do not, even though the code looks right. Just the pictures with the little picture not found symbol and the alt text.
That means the image URL is wrong. Make sure the image is uploaded to the internet (not on your personal computer) and is not being “blocked” by something.
Thanks all for the help. I figured it out. It appears WordPress and Safari do not work well together.
