  Usually I get at least a little English before starting in with the HTML!

  “Usually I get at least a little English before starting in with the HTML!” I really like this guy!

  So, goldman, you’ve missed one little point in the instructions: “upload the image (in the visual editor), click File URL, click insert” etc. Apparently you’ve used the “Post URL” option instead.

  (Now I’m not sure this is English either…)

  Anyway, if you copy and paste the whole chunk of code Tess just provided, things will work.

  Also note that when you use generic names that end with a number, you may eventually run into other kinds of trouble – see here:

  Sorry,
  Must have been talking to myself, but forgot to type anything.

  Paste the code into the HTML editor of the post you are asking about. Clicking your diagram will open a new page with the link you specified. Then add your caption after you see it functions.
