 * Hi All,
 * I am trying to add an image to a post, and I don’t know if I am losing my mind
   here, but something strange is going on.
 * If I add
 * `
    <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/external.gif" alt="External
   Link" title="External Link" />
 * to my post, it changes it to
 * `
    <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?/>/images/external.gif" alt="External
   Link" title="External Link" />
 * by adding a slash after the closing ? for the php tag.
 * Bug?

 * it’s not a bug but meant to do that so that php code cannot be used within a 
   post – it’s a security thing.
 * you can install runphp or wp-exec to run php within a post

 * Ah… good to know. I’m going to use the full path to the image. Thanks Jinsan.
 * Where can I get these 2 apps or plugins if need be?

 * Or place the image in a different location, like a separate “images” folder in
   the WordPress root.
