I think where my problem lies is that I am working with a powerbook now, and I don't have a right click to get properties like on a pc. So, I guess I need to figure out the step on the mac to get the properties. Right? Thanks for your help!!!

R-click on PC = Ctrl-click on Mac

If you Ctrl-click on an image, one of the options you'll see will be "Copy Image Address"

Good luck!

you had this URL between url tags which would have made it a link https://www.northamericanmotoring.co..._0044_copy.jpg

it was also too large of an image for your signature (NAM guidelines permit 500 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall).

So I used the thumbnail version https://www.northamericanmotoring.co..._0044_copy.jpg

here it is between image tags (you would need to remove the two * to get it to work)

[*img]https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/gallery/data/500/thumbs/IMG_0044_copy.jpg[/*img]

remove the two * and you get
