Brian,
I believe the problem could be that you're using photobox.co.uk for the image hosting. As a site it doesn't offer direct linking to other sites as far as I'm aware.
I use photobucket.com because it does enable efficient sharing and publishing of visual digital content online. Images and videos can be directly linked from Photobucket to any site.
You can open a free account with them or sign up for a pay package which costs just $25 per year and offers 5GB of storage with no bandwidth restrictions amongst it's other features.
