User cannot see the image in the blog as it has not been attached to any of the post u have previously posted.

Save as a draft: This is a command to save whatever words/images that u have inserted into the post as a draft. By saving it into a draft, it can be reopened at anytime and can be edited or changed as well as reverting it back to the original draft. By saving the post as a draft, the post wont be shown in the user’s blog, instead be held in a draft in your post section allowing the user to choose to post it anytime, hence, preventing the need to retype the details again.

Preview: This is a command to request a preview of how does the user’s post look like when posted onto the user’s blog. However, it does not actually publish the post onto the blog, instead show a published version of it to the user. The user would need to re-publish the post in order to see it on the blog.

Publish: This command is to publish what the user wrote in the post onto the blog. Hence allowing the user’s and blog visitors to see the published post and it’s content.

The HTML syntax for image is <img> tag. Two of the properties needed for image tags are the src and alt. src stand for source.The value of the src attribute is the URL of the image you want to display.alt attribute specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image cannot be displayed.The height and width attributes are also properties needed for an image tag.
