Shaye, you've almost got it. When you grab the code from Imageshack, you want the one that says "direct".....and you'll put that inside the Image tags. You'll get the hang of it in no time! :D

I think you're right Kelly. Beautiful girl, whomever she might be! Interesting tidbit about these gals: You know how they weave that zig zag pattern into the web? Well, while no one really knows for sure why they do it, one theory is so that it's visible to larger animals so they don't destroy the web by walking or flying through it. It makes sense that when you put that much time and effort into a web, you wouldn't want someone coming along and ruining it. :shrug:
