This is a picture from our Christmas get-together with Boonie's sister, grandmother to the wonderful Angelina.

Ang has quite the collection of ES merchandise now.

the Rainbow Unicorn is a staple of her summer stuff -- big tee shirt for a beach cover-up, a bag to put her stuff and, new for Christmas, a sweatshirt for the Boardwalk on cool nights. She loves the ES "signature" on all her stuff.

Let me know if you can see the picture, because I can but it's my link.

If not, how do I upload something from my computer? I am sorry for being a bother.

Dropbox doesn't look like it allows for direct linking... at least not anything I can see from the visitor side. I could download the picture and upload it to something on my side (Like my Photobucket account or my blog), but I don't see a way to get the proper image extension from where you linked to...

That said, you can see the picture by clicking on the link! YAY for MBRS making kids happy!!!

Yes- you can't do direct linking to that site.

I even tried the usual trick of removing the "s" from the https (like you need to do to embed Youtube videos) but it didn't work.

One thing you do not have to do, BTW, when linking images, is to use the [url] tags inside the [img] tags. I noticed you did that in your OP when I quoted it. Just use the [img] tags along around the weblink of the image you would like to embed.

I found that if you go to the dropbox display page for this picture and "view source," the (long & cryptic) URL listed in the <meta content> tag with <name="twitter:image"> seems to work, as above. This is way too much of a PitA for most people to bother with.

Yes- you're nuts.

LOL.
