 * return = “src” does not return a well formed source path
    i.e. when using [post_image
   return=”src”] inline within a post I get the following
 * background-image: url();
 * however when I use [post-thumbnail return=”src”] the above inline style works
   fine, eveything is well formed but the image is the not the one I want to use.
 * Please advise – Thanks –
 * Love this plug in!!!!

 * hmmmm – actually it looks like WP stripped out what I get – ok basically I get
   the correct path BUT without “/” and with “img src=” in the “url(HERE)”
 * url()
