# Embedding Images Problem

 * I’m trying to embed an image on my post but when I post it, the link output is
   different. I’m using zBench v1.3.6, and the code is below
 * `<a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/servicesiphelper.jpg/" target
   ="_blank"><img src="http://imageshack.us/a/img33/9819/servicesiphelper.th.jpg"
   border="0"/></a>`
 * The link should be:
    `http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/servicesiphelper.
   jpg/`
 * But the link output after posting becomes:
    `http://imageshack.us/a/img33/9819/
   servicesiphelper.th.jpg`
 * It seems that the image source is becoming the clickable link of the image. I
   think this is a theme problem. Thanks in advance!

 * might be that in your coding
 * > <img src=”[http://imageshack.us/a/img33/9819/servicesiphelper.th.jpg&#8221](http://imageshack.us/a/img33/9819/servicesiphelper.th.jpg&#8221);
   > border=”0″/>
 * The second part of the code the url might need to be changed its pointing to 
   the wrong address
 * try changing it and see if that fixes it.

 * That’s not the real image link, it’s a link to image hosting page. This is how
   they get users to see and click on the ads.
 * It’s better not to hotlink image outside your own site, because you have no control
   over it. Suppose you have a hundred of posts with hotlinked images and then the
   image hosting is gone or the image itself is expired, and that you have to go
   over each post and fix the broken image links.

 * The image below is a thumbnail
 * > `http://imageshack.us/a/img33/9819/servicesiphelper.th.jpg`
 * I want to make it clickable and the link is
 * > `http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/servicesiphelper.jpg/`
 * But after posting this code on html view and publishing it
 * > `<a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/servicesiphelper.jpg/" target
   > ="_blank"><img src="http://imageshack.us/a/img33/9819/servicesiphelper.th.jpg"
   > border="0"/></a>`
 * Instead of the link to be the one in href, the clickable link becomes the image
   src with a “/” at the end. Like this below
 * > `http://imageshack.us/a/img33/9819/servicesiphelper.th.jpg/`
 * That’s the reason it can’t be found. I just want the thumbnails to work on the
   theme, I tried on other themes and it worked properly.. Anybody? Tnx in advance!
