Lukas and Avi,

Thanks for the quick responses, but something is not working for me.

When I follow Lukas's point that when a new link *my fine picture* is
created, one can then upload the data to define the resource. When I do
this (using a .jpg, .png image) and keep 'emedded' enabled, the image
link is created but it is not inlined to the page. FWIW, going to the
page holding the resources shows the mime type as 'unknown'.

Have I missed something blindingly obvious?

Happy new year,


Michael
