Embedding images in Textile

Textile is the markup language Handmeon uses to allow simple formatting of posts, comments, bios, affinity lists, etc. You can tell which fields support Textile because the text edit box for those fields has a toolbar that looks like this:

You can embed a picture by putting exclamation points around the url of the picture file.

Or you can use a standard HTML image tag:

<img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/165/359678063_d8cf7ae06a_m.jpg" />

Either way works fine.

The image is stored on Flickr. First I uploaded from my computer to my Flickr account and then I used the static link to the small version as the image url. Since the Flickr Community Guidelines specify that if you post a Flickr photo on an external website, the photo must link back to its photo page, I followed their suggestion and simply copied and pasted the HTML code they provided, which has the link back to Flickr coded into it:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92811551@N00/359678063/">
  <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/165/359678063_d8cf7ae06a_m.jpg" />
