I'm trying to post my first pic and my idiot behind cannot figure it out.

Do I use the URL? http://img8.photobucket.com/albums/v23/Thump/Dec04.jpg


Or do I use the Img code? <img src=http://img8.photobucket.com/albums/v23/Thump/Dec04.jpg>

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
