Of course replace the URL with the URL of your image.</p> <p>The above code results in the following image.</p> <p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Napoleon_crop.jpg" /></p> <p>If you start the img code on a new line, you will get the picture left aligned.</p> <p><strong>The long story</strong></p> <p>In this day and age, protecting ourselves online is a laborious process. That is why the following process is necessary.</p> <ol> <li>You must first post the image online somewhere, flickr or some other image hosting service (many are free).</li> <li>Then use the above XHTML code to insert your image <ul> <li>Make sure your image is the appropriate size before using it, unecessarily large images will look horrible and create long download times</li> <li>Copy and paste will get you along way, just change the image URL</li> <li>You've only got 600 pixels to work with as far as width goes, so if you want your audience to see the entire picture, keep it that size or smaller.</li> </ul> </li> </ol> <ol></ol>
