That didn't work! Need to figure that out. What I want to do is indsert a picutre of my bike. Seems I currently can only insert an image from Avtar over to the side. Many of you have actual photos of your bikes in the postings... I'd like to do that.

OK... trying out a couple of new things today:

2. Tied to insert a picture in the signaure block... we'll see if that's a keeper too.
