Hi Jeremy, Yes I downloaded both a TW and the text file. I changed the name in the text file to eliminate complications due to spaces. I tried a variety of naming schemes. I also tried changing the extension to txt in case the system was confused by '.tid'.
The thing is, canonical uri works fine with local images. Is the handling of images different than that for the text file? Thanks!
