A painting by Paul Cézanne at the Musée de Luxembourg. Cézanne's paintings at the Luxembourg were influential to Ernest Hemingway's writing in his formative years in Paris in the 1920s.

Reading a short piece by/about Paul Reiser

Vicki hmmm - I do not remember ever seeing an image of him - thanks.

Teri, Paul must have been very interesting. Looks older in that image.

I cannot seem to get a pic to import. Hmmm

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

the code is tricky - have you imported before - if you have then it could also be the image itself - make sure that it has the right .jpg or something that goodreads accepts.

I never put in this part of the code - width="40" height="100" alt="description

I do < img src = "the url" /> without the spaces of course

No I have not imported before. Will see what I can do.

Ike reviewing paratroopers before the Normandy drops.

[Vicki, Assisting Moderator - Ancient Roman History]

Michael, you need the brackets which enclose the code - i.e. < before img src and > at the end. Check the "(some html is ok)" link at the top of the box.

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

Vicki is right and you need a space between the g in img and the s in src

[Michael]

Vicki and Bentley thanks for the help. This is one of my favorite pics from WW2.

Great photo and you got it up.
