I am trying to add an animated image to the home page of AFWillowBay.com, and no matter what URL I use for the photo, I get the broken picture default icon on my home page (I don’t know how else to describe that icon, sorry, lol). I have tried each of the following URLs, all for the same picture:

http://afwillowbay.com/?p=82
I got all of those URLs from various places in the Media library of WordPress, but none of them work. Where do I get a URL that works, and can you give me step-by-step instructions on where to click to find this URL?
Many thanks,
Havilah
PS At some point, is PageBuilder going to be upgraded so that when you have to insert a photo, instead of having to go elsewhere to find the photo URL, the plugin simply directs you to your media library and you just have to click on the picture to select it? That would be 1000% easier. I’ve paid for themes through SiteOrigin and I’d absolutely pay for an upgraded version of the PageBuilder. Just a thought. :)
Hi Havilah
The URL http://afwillowbay.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Icy-branches-in-Pocatello-Idaho.jpg is the one you’ll want to enter. Can you set up a page and use that image URL so I can figure out why this isn’t working?
We are working hard at extending our Widgets Bundle plugin, which is a separate plugin that adds a very nice collection of widgets to Page Builder. One of the big features of these widgets is that they access the media library for inserting images. This is much easier than manually inserting the image URL.

I do have the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle installed on my website; I very much appreciate the amount of work you guys put into this.
And secondly, I tried the link you suggested and it worked without a problem. ??? That’s the second time today that’s happened with me – I’ve not been able to get something to work, right up until an IT guy says “Try it for me” and then it works without a problem, lol.
Anyway, thanks for the guidance so I know from here froward which URL to choose. That does make it easier.
Cheers,
Havilah
