HI ALL! I'm trying to put a small picture, of a kind of ribbon that says "God Bless America" on it, with a flag/heart in the center, at the end of my description. I can't figure out the HTML tag. This is what I typed:<P><center><img src=http://[email protected]/bramblehillfarm/C:\WINDOWS\Desktop \Patriotic jpg's\blessamericabar.JPG></center><P> All I get is the box with the red X in it. Where am I going wrong? thanks 4 any help you can give. molly

Hi Molly,
Your source for the image doesn't make sense. It, in part, points to your local drive, which nobody else would be able to view an image off of even if it did appear on your end.
You will need to upload that image into your image hosting section, then get the URL for it to use in your listings.
Once it is in your image hosting page, you can place a check mark next to it and use the 'attach image' button to get the URL for this image, which will include the HTML to make it appear in your listing for you.

Hi Molly:
I'm just a user, not AW support, but have some experience at this and can see several problems here. The biggest problem is that it looks like you're trying to access this image from your computer desktop. No can do. The image has to be hosted somewhere on a web server, for instance the free web space your ISP gives you. Your ISP or whoever hosts the picture should have a tutorial or help file to walk you through the process and show you what address to insert after img src=. You could also just upload the image to AW, assuming you use AW picture hosting, and insert it whenever you want it, but you would be limited in placement. It also appears you're using your email address in the address. What you need is the name of the server. Hope that helps.
