What am I doing wrong? photo

[Divided Attention]

I am trying to get the image to show up in the message, not as a link. If I click img then past the url, then click img again as I saw instructed in one post, it displays the link, which works well... if I insert the address of the image in the middle of the 2 imgs only clicking img once it gives the little "x" instead of the picture.

I have the viewing option as public on the sharing site.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Edited to remove link because I was too goofy to notice some important info - thanks for great vigilant folks here for pointing that out.

I'm fairly new but I think it has to point to exactly the image with the .jpg extension
like this [imgg]http://i55.tinypic.com/2lncml4.jpg[/imgg] I added the /imgg it should be /img

I usually just drag the pic from a different tab or window
to this tab or window and drop it [img]here[/img]

HUGE thanks to HoiPolloi for all the patience and help with me finally getting this right!

USA1 - I tried the "easy peasy" and I got the X... but I got it now. I was really trying to make it too hard.

Thanks all!

Well, you're doing better than I did at first. I had to get one of my kids to show me how to post words.
