8. Here's how I did it
"{a href=”url_of_picture”}Link Text{/a} with the square brackets instead of { }
then added the url of Crook without the "http:" in other words "//img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/ralps/P5060006small.jpg" then typed in the word Crook where "Link Text" is and it worked. YAY!!!!!!!!!
:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:
