There's a few different ways for you to put this information in your post. What I'll cover is how I do it.

2. Highlight the URL.


3. Left Click on the Insert Image tab (circled in black in the following image.)


4. By having the URL highlighted and then clicking on the Insert Image tab,
the Image Tags will be placed on both sides of the URL and it's all ready to post.


Viola!
