Just copy and paste the image URL. If it's from Amazon, you should be able to right click the image and depending on the browser you're using, select the equivalent of "copy image address" then paste it into the img tags here, or "open image in new tab" and then copy and paste the URL from the address bar.Margaret wrote:I like the cover of Barbara Kingsolver's latest novel, Unsheltered. It's elegant and appropriate to the historical material - a period drawing of a carnivorous plant.
Can anyone help me figure out how to include an image in a post? I see where the "image" icon is, but don't know how to grab the image to put inside it.

Thank you for your help, Mythica! Alas, this is not working for me. This seems to be the best I can do:Just copy and paste the image URL. If it's from Amazon, you should be able to right click the image and depending on the browser you're using, select the equivalent of "copy image address" then paste it into the img tags here, or "open image in new tab" and then copy and paste the URL from the address bar.
Aargh!

That looks like it's a google redirect URL to Amazon. This looks like the book url you were going for:Margaret wrote:Thank you for your help, Mythica! Alas, this is not working for me.

Aargh!
An image URL needs to end in something like .jpg, .gif, .png, etc. So the cover for that book would be found here: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com ... qxA9DL.jpg
