Links in Post

    Hey all! I have a food blog that encompasses home cooking, eating out, and cocktails. Urbanspoon (restaurant reviews) has something called Spoonback, where your blog review of a restaurant is linked to that restaurant;s page on Urbanspoon. What the blogger has to do is copy and paste one of their Image links in the post. When I copy and paste the code, the image doesn’t appear. You just see the code. Maybe it doesn’t work with WordPress? I’m not sure. Thanks for any help! =)

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I know that my friend used to be a #1 Urban Spoon blogger, and he was on WP.com till last year, so if you have trouble with getting it to work here, I know that there IS a workaround.

    Hmm, there’s nothing wrong with that code at all. I can see the image fine:

    You’re not pasting that in the Visual editor, are you? Just click the HTML tab when you’re editing the post and paste it in there instead.

    No…I was posting it in the body. I am new at this….lol. I am going to try what you suggested right now.

    You do post it in the body of the post, just using the HTML view, not the Visual one.
