Yes my original avatar was 5 years old - auburn pixie cut. Yes I have grown my now graying hair out and will be continuing to let it grow long. Yes, I am using a new avatar now for both my timethief account and my thistimethisspace account. These are the links to both of my scoop.it pages as I don't know which one you are referring to.

Sorry to be off topic, not sure how else to contact you. OK, I see mention of a new look: Was your previous avatar of a woman with very short brown hair? (the one still visible on the 'Scoop it!' website)....clarifying that I'm 'following' the same wp expert!

Thank you.

Or you edit the post into which the image has been inserted, switch the editor to Text (=code) and copy the URL you can see in the image code.

In the "Image URL" field you paste the URL of the image. Image URLs end with the filetype suffix (.jpg or .jpeg or .png).

When I posted my previous reply, you were using this URL:
http://salmonfishingqueen.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/challenge-12-audience-choice-award/audience-choice-award-challenge-12/
That's not the URL of the image, it's the URL of an attachment page that has the image on it.
Now you're using this URL:
http://salmonfishingqueen.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/challenge-12-audience-choice-award/
That's not the image URL either: it's the URL of the post in which you first published the image.
The image URL is this:
http://salmonfishingqueen.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/audience-choice-award-challenge-12.jpg
Click these three URLs to see the differences.

So far they haven't completely removed any of the "retired" themes. They might eventually do that, but for MistyLook I don't think it will be any time soon, as it had always been one of the most popular themes (we no longer have stats for it, but a year ago it was used in more than 500.000 wordpress.com blogs).

    had
to change my appearance. It might be helpful if this is stated on a theme becoming retired but still available for use by those who are using the theme at the time of retirement. I love that my page is back to what it used to look like! Thank you very much for clearing this up for me!

That's inaccurate. MistyLook has become "retired". This means no longer available in newly created blogs, but still available in blogs created before the introduction of Misty Lake. You can go to Appearance > Themes and activate MistyLook again.
