Some sites, which may include the ones you're using, either don't allow hot-linking or, require you to jump thru invisible hoops to achieve your objective. I know flickr has quite strict limitations. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_linking

I know I am backward, but this defeats me - I could do it just a week ago, but now i can't work out how I did it.<br><br>A case of new technology baffles pissed old hack I fear.<br><br>I am glad you are as baffled as I am anyway MC<br>

I use instagram and hash tag it #stroudgreen then they appear at the top of the homepage.

You need to use a direct link, i.e. one that ends .jpg. Flickr et al make it hard for you to find this, but if you open the image and right click on it, then select properties, you can find and copy the url. Then use the image widget in sg.org to add it.

I did.

I've never been able to make it work either. Detritus managed it once but now we've both given up on it. There are some splendid photos of the local area on instagram.

Oh yes I did. I don't use Chrome, but that's what I did on Firefox. Bah!

All images hosted on flickr SHOULD link back to the original flickr page of the image.  There was a time when links would suddenly break.  I don't think flickr still polices transgressions in the way it once did.

Krappy, I'm free Wednesday after work if you want me to pop over and have a look.

Basically, I am almost beyond caring any more and would rather eat the genitals of a dead squirrel than spend more time on Flickr....on the other hand I do have a cunning plan involving blogger. We should perhaps share a beer anyway but will have to be Thursday? *Plots*

Dead squirrel balls are nice deep fried
