Whoops. Let's see if this works:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/5240846/DCCRPG_in_100_Words" 
          title="Wordle: DCCRPG in 100 Words"><img
          src="http://www.wordle.net/thumb/wrdl/5240846/DCCRPG_in_100_Words"
          alt="Wordle: DCCRPG in 100 Words"
          style="padding:4px;border:1px solid #ddd"></a>
