Hey Tort,

Thanks for fixing the problem....now can you tell me what I did wrong?
I was wondering if using picassa to store photos was causing problems.

tarponteaser,

You tried to use the address for the Picasa *page* with the IMG tag rather than the picture's actual address. To get the address of the picture, right-click and select "Copy Image Location" if you're using Firefox. If you're using IE, you need to right-click, select "Properties", then highlight the contents of the Address (URL) section of the dialog box, the right-click again, and select "Copy".

Now the URL of the actual image should be in your clipboard, and you can paste it into the IMG tag (or into the dialog box if you're using the "Insert Image" feature of the editor.

As an example, here is the URL of the Picasa webpage:

http://picasaweb.google.com/tarponteaser/F250/photo#5207471246800053538

This is the actual address of the picture hosted on that page:

http://lh6.ggpht.com/tarponteaser/SESngjOT5SI/AAAAAAAAAQA/uNl9GgAKnYQ/IMG_1285.JPG?imgmax=800

And the correct [IMG] tag syntax:

[IMG]http://lh6.ggpht.com/tarponteaser/SESngjOT5SI/AAAAAAAAAQA/uNl9GgAKnYQ/IMG_1285.JPG?imgmax=800[/IMG]

Thanks for the tips Tort, I'm going to do a 'pre clay, UPPP and UPGP' shot of the truck taken prior to a Keys trip last year to test the 'right click, properties and copy of the img address'.
