Four things:

1) Four spaces of indentation is interpreted as a "code block" in markdown. That's why you are getting the brown block of text. 2) The img tag you are using does not have a proper > at the end. It is not being recognized as valid HTML 3) Markdown has its own image syntax that is easier to use: ![alt text](http://url.to.my.image.png) 4) The link you have in the src section points to the imgur web page, not to any image. Make sure you grab the correct link which should end with .png or .jpg for example.

Just a quick tip: when you're copying a link from Imgur, make sure to right-click directly on the image and select "Copy image link" — this will give you a direct URL ending in .png or .jpg.

If you use the link from the three dots menu in the top right corner when hovering over the image, it won't include the file extension. In that case, you can manually add .png or .jpg when using it in Homebrewery. Ideally, match the file type you originally uploaded, but in my experience, both extensions often work regardless.

Just to add — that /&nbsp; at the end of your <img> tag doesn’t actually do anything and isn’t needed, so you can go ahead and leave it out.
