 * Trying to insert image into post. Image is uploaded in gallery and can be viewed
   there. Html for image is inserted into post. I.E. shows an empty box with a red“
   x”, Google shows 1 line of offset text and no indication of image. This is my
   first WordPress, so it’s probably something simple I’m doing wrong, but what?
   I’ve been working on this for 2 days with no luck. Theme is 2010 that downloaded
   with W.P. installation. Blog is http:www.offgridok.com. Help appreciated. Thank
   You. Post is “Welcome” post.

 * looks like it’s the wrong img location
    `http://www.offgridok.com/wp-content/
   uploads/2011/04/IMG_2291-300x225.jpg` is the wrong path…
 * if that dont work you can always use the built in image insert on the post page
   in your dashboard.
 * hope this helps..

 * CHeck your hosting site and see if you have hotlinking turned on. Maybe this 
   is preventing the image from showing up.

 * Thank You both for your quick replies. My hotlinking was turned off. I would 
   have never found that without your help. Thanks again.
