Homepage content image

I am trying to add an image to my homepage message. I have tried at least a dozen times to display the image in the message content. Seems I'm missing something. The image I want to use is in my personal folder. Would that have anything to do with it?
Can someone please advise.
Thanks

What do you mean your personal folder?

The image needs to be hosted on the internet either imgserv, photobucket, imageshack etc.

use the code

Code:

<a><img src="url of the image here"></a>

for the image to show.

Thank you very much. Problem solved.
