fill in your alt tag. Look in the HTML you pasted, you'll see a tag that says alt=" " . In between the quotes, put something descriptive about your image, such as alt="blue widget description" This is important for sight-impaired visitors, text-only browsers, some cell phones and others with limited access.
align the image. The default HTML code is currently set to align="left", which means that text will appear on the right of the image, and wrap around it. If your embedded image is 450 pixels or so, you could center it in the column, by changing the tag to align="center", or simply delete the align="" tag entirely.
change the border. The default HTML code is currently set to border="1" , which puts a thin 1-pixel black border around your image. Create a thicker border by putting a higher number, border="4" , or eliminate the border altogether, border="0"
If you place an embedded image, it could come before or after a paragraph of descriptive text. Remember that a search engine won't recognize the text on a graphic, so including some descriptive text will get better results on searches.
