Idiot redux...
I'm totally stymied with the task of adding an image (showdown 1.jpg) to my antville page. Here's what I'm doing. What's wrong with it?
imagepool then add image then in box marked "image name" I type in the macro that is not allowed here then in box marked "alttext" (which I presume is supposed to be the cutline under the picture) I type: Showdown then in browse box I locate the "showdown 1.jpg" file listed on my c:\drive then save
At this point the file "loads" for a while and according to previous helpers when it is done my "Showdown" image file is supposed to appear on a "list." No such thing happens. No list appears on the "addimage" page, nor can I find any image list anywhere else.
When I go back to my home page it hasn't magically appeared there, either.
So what am I doing wrong?
Also, once this works, as I suppose it will someday, one previous helper said I finally go to my story.skin and add the "Showdown" file. Which story/skin might that be? There are several.
Please and thank you for any help you can offer.

What exactly do you enter into the "image name" field? Most probably, this is the cause for your problems. The image name should consist only of ASCII letters and digits.
Also, see if you get an error message after trying to upload. Look for some sentence on the top of the page telling you what went wrong.

As usual, it turned out I was over-tinellectualizing and failing to think simply. WHoever you are, your suggestions worked, and I appreciate it very much,
