How to Embed an Image

To embed a comic on your blog, get the URL of the image as follows. While looking at a comic, right-click on its image. This should give you a context menu. On that context menu, select the menu item that will let you view the image. On Firefox, the menu item will be something like “View Image”. On Google Chrome it will be something like “Open Image in New Tab”. On all other browsers look for something similar. Once you click on thie menu item, you will be able to view the image, and only the image, on your browser. Now simply get the URL of your image from the address bar and use this to embed as usual. Image URLs are generally of the form: “http://www.icanbarelydraw.com/comic/comics/yyyy-mm-dd-title-of-comic.png”.
