Help with Random Picture from a Gallery

Howdy All-

I am a little stumped. I want to emulate the Digital Frame I have on my desk online. So what I figured I would do is simply create a gallery with the pictures I wanted to include. I then followed the directions from the JotSpot Wiki. Or at least I thought I did.

So I placed in code that was based on it at http://www.bradfordbenn.com/random.html

The code I am using is
[HTML]<p align="center"><a href="http://bradfordbenn.smugmug.com/gallery/3981766" target="_new">
<img src="http://bradfordbenn.smugmug.com/photos/random.mg?AlbumID=39817667&Size=Original"
alt="Random Image" title="One of Brad's Photo Frame Shots" /></a>
</p>[/HTML]

I tried using a size of 150x150 and 300x300 and 800x800 all with no luck. I have already sized the images to be the size I want, so originals is fine.

What step/variable did I miss? :scratch Also if there is a tip on how to get the code to show up better that would be nice also.

Try this, you have a bad album ID in there and a bunch of \'s.

Perfect thanks.

Okay last question, how did you get the HTML code to not be processed so you could post it?
