Hey there. So the image isn’t embedding because the URL directs to the Imgur page:
http://imgur.com/GE7Vcm1
you need to add the .gif (which works for imgur URLs) and use:
http://imgur.com/GE7Vcm1.gif
I added the .gif to the first comment and it works. Great freakout!
Thank You!

Thank you
Hey you got it! Nice!

FINALLY!

Oooh ok, makes sense.. thank you.
Totally got this now…cool!
No more of this at the keyboard.

Copy the image address as shown here by right clicking and selecting:
And then place the address in the HTML img tag like this:
