After further investigation I am still stumped as to how I get an image that is local to my machine to display within a Tiddler. I have no problem getting online images to display. I don't want to rely on having an internet connection to be able to add a photo or other image to a Tiddler. This is a deal breaker for me and if I can't figure it out I will be moving on to other tools.
