Why is my ticker not working?

I *think* I used the Image URL and then pressed the insert media icon [the one a the top of window that looks like a film icon].

Then I selected the tab that says 'from URL' and copied the image URL in the box. I hope that makes sense ;-)

Yayyy, thank you very much indeed ladies

Yay ;-)
