  from” my pictures”, what comes up is a square with an “x” in it…no matter how many times I try and either refresh, republish, cut and re-do it. I have another pic that did the same thing and I got it from some place else.

  so what gives, huh ?

  I followed the instructions…but this still happens. See my blog : http://www.designergrl.wordpress.com and you will see the examples.

  See it now. Give me a few minutes to try something out over here. I’m thinking its either the spaces and / or the ‘&’ mark in the file name that’s throwing it off. I would like to know for sure before I give you an offical answer. :)

  Short answer: The ‘&’ mark appears to not be allowed within a file name.

  Picture used by the way is work safe. :)

  I tried this first on my blog here without any issue.

  I then tried it over at the test blog that I have here and you can see that the two pictures that included the ‘&’ mark are not showing up.

  Use of the space does not appear to have any effect.

  Hope this helps,
