It has to be a direct link from a website or photo album. Put the link on it’s own line. Like this.

(With apologies to Monty Python) “Here is the News… by an almost unanimous vote, paintings in the National Gallery voted to continue the strike that has emptied frames for the last week. The man from Constable’s ‘Hay Wain’ said last night that there was no chance of a return to the pictures before the weekend. Sir Kenneth Clarke has said he will talk to any painting if it can help bring a speedy end to the strike. At Sotheby’s, prices dropped dramatically as leading figures left their paintings.” ---
