 * My arbitrary text and html is not showing after I add the following html code
   to cszsummerschool.org:
 * <img src=”[http://www.cszsummerschool.org/?attachment_id=95&#8243](http://www.cszsummerschool.org/?attachment_id=95&#8243);
   width=”172″ height=”49″ alt=”” longdesc=”[http://download.pdf&#8221](http://download.pdf&#8221);/
   >
 * The image looks like its a bout to load for a split second then it disappears.
   Where am I getting i wrong?
