Images Won’t Load from Afar
-
Okay, this is strange. I’ve been working on three posts. All have images. Two of the articles pull up the remote images just fine.
When I try to insert this image:
I get nothing showing up in my post.
When I look at the code calling the image there is this there:
style=”display: none”
That does not appear in the other two articles with remotely called images. If I delete that code WP.com puts it right back in there.
The image is a 468×60 banner for my blog that I am inserting into a post because it is festive for the New Year and I’m not linking the image to anything.

that’s truly bizarre.
i would either just add
<img src="http://boles.com/banners/colors.jpg" alt="happy holidays" />manually in the code tab of the editor, or just upload the image.(normally i’d say send in feedback, but you know, holidays and all)

Hi Adam!
Every time I go into code view and hand delete everything but the URL calling the image, that —
style=”display: none”
— gets restored! It’s eerie! I’ve tested this on a Windows machine and Macs and on three browsers for each OS and the code keeps getting put back in there.
I wonder — (spooky music) — if this a preemptive strike on the code-level to ban banners?
I think I’ll try to change the dimensions of the image and see if the WP.com editor will take it.

Tried:
Still won’t load.
Same strange code.
Now I’ll try to call it from a directory other than “banners” and see what happens.
-
Bingo!
It worked!
I moved the images from the “banners” directory and both of them loaded while writing a post:
You’re welcome to play around with calling these images from different directories on your end if you want to test it out and see if you get the same results or not.
