When you go to the edit your entry page to copy it, you'll see a tab on the right which says "html". Just click that and then copy from that instead of the rich text.

Believe me, I know how tricky all of this is at first.

oook-kay, I'll give that another try. Except - what exactly am I copying? (I don't have a PC btw, I have a Mac, but I have set up my mouse to have some right-click functions, don't know if that helps.)

In this case, the SunnyD award image (Best Angst Gen) is titled "R27angstgen2". I dragged that to my harddrive, downloaded it here to the LJ post no problem. How do you html that?
