Need help with HTML and images...

How do I get this stupid link (my GamerCard for XBox 360) to work as an image?

http://gamercard.xbox.com/BurntToast256.card

On the XBox site it's like, "just add this link and then you can post your GamerCard anywhere!" but I can't get it to post on my MySpace profile, a LiveJournal entry, or as part of my MiceChat's signature. It's so frustrating!

It actually says to use iframe tags? I'm so confused!!! It actually says to use the code below... but it won't work (it actually shows up blank on my MySpace profile and my LiveJournal entries.

<iframe src="http://gamercard.xbox.com/BurntToast256.card" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" height="140" width="204">My XBox360 GamerCard</iframe>

What is wrong? :I

Um....nope, that didn't work either. I was thinking if you could save the image to a photo hosting place (like photobucket) then you could use the IMG code to use it. (And just putting the IMG code around the address didn't work.) However, on my Mac it won't let me copy the entire image to my drive to upload it, it only copys each part of the image seperately.

I'm not very good with the coding stuff.... but thought I'd give it a try. Sorry.

If you must use iFrames, you won't be able to put it here. Most forums won't allow iFrames because they are a security risk.

most forums and websites recovnize iamges only as .jpg or .png, or .gif, or .something....

That's what I thought. Yah, that's the code that they provide... supposedly simple, easy, blah blah.

Stupid MS.
