Picture in HTML Block

I did the search but didn't find anything that could explain how to put a picture in a HTML Block. Tried uploading picture in banners file but then had this long url from my server and it didn't work. This can't be this difficult to do, I don't want to use a second party host like tinypics because it will mess up my SSL. Any help would be great. I'm on ver 7.3.2.

It's a good question, so I did this little tutorial which should help. If you have problems, find mistakes, ot think something is missing, please post here.

TinyMCE does allow external URLs to be used in the image tag.  If you are finding that external images are not being displayed, then it is something else other than TinyMCE.

@GG Thanks for picking that up. I did the tutorial in a hurry and overlooked the error. TinyMCE does in fact allow you to use images etc stored on another server, but as far as I know, it doesn't have the facility for you to upload photos from your pc, which is what I meant to say. I've always had to FTP them to my server.

I'm enclosing an updated PDF, but the old one is still applicable except for that oversite.

Thanks for help, I will try, what is the best ftp up-loader to use for dolphin or does it matter? Thanks again.

I use WinSCP wchich I find excellent. It was recommended by someone on this forum and leaves Filezilla for dead.

WinSCP works really well and easy to use, but I still can't get a picture in the html block. I did as you suggested, uploaded to /public_html/templates/tmpl_uni/images/towers.jpg and I know it doesn't matter where you ftp the picture but did as you suggested in your tutorial and all I get is the image description inside a little box. I'm wondering if in 7.3.2 TinyMce needs to be enabled I don't remember. Just following up thanks for your help and suggestions. The address above is what I used for the source input, maybe that's my problem, don't know.

Here is the source code <p><img src="public_html/templates/tmpl_uni/images/towers.jpg" alt="tower" width="440" height="300" /></p>

It should work fine for 7.32

 Your image path is wrong. It should be:  templates/tmpl_uni/images/towers.jpg

 Just remove public_html/
