  I cannot remember how to show an actual image rather than a link in the comments section of the blog. How do I edit so the link disappears and the image remains?

  Thanks

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

  You code should look like this:
  <img src="http://LINK_HERE" alt="" width="200" height="" class="aligncenter" />

  Or you can copy the link, then insert the image (insert from URL) into a draft post. Switch to the text editor and copy the code. Then paste that code into the comment in place of the link. Be careful the image is not too wide!

  I have copied the link. How do I actually insert it into the post? And I don’t know what you mean by “switch to text editor”

  Here is information about the two different editors on WordPress.com:

  post editor—>add media—>choose insert from URL—>change from Visual Editor to Text Editor—>copy the code

  dashboard—>comments—>paste code into the comment—>update
