  Embedding a photo link from another website seems to render it as a clickable link instead of the photo itself. What am I doing wrong?

  I just found a photo of some relatives that relates to family history, on a public website.

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

  Note. Many sites do not allow hotlinking to images. It amounts to bandwidth theft. Though we do not pay for bandwidth here others do pay and they have to pay more when they exceed their allowed bandwidth.

  You are welcome and Happy New Year!

  P.S. We huddled under quilts in front of the tube last night drinking hot lemon drinks as we are nursing head colds. :( I hope you had a much better time than that. The only saving grace was that we happened on a channel that had a John Lennon special on and that made the night much better.
