Please provide me the HTML for this Train Postcard

Will one of the moderators  please be kind enough to provide me with the HTML for this train postcard?

My next postcard blog post is going to be about trains, and as always, I wanted to include in the post,  7 to 12 postcards by other Zazzle creators. Lately, I can't seem to find a way to get the HTML for someone else's postcard. So right now, my blog looks like this, and does not show any picture of any postcard---it only shows the link to the postcard. I don't think my readers will want to read a postcard blog without illustrations, so if you would kindly provide the HTML code to this postcard,  that would be very helpful in getting me started on my next postcard blog post.

In the past I have been able to find HTML code for other creators' postcards. As such,  the blog has been fully illustrated, and has  looked more like this, which seems to me like a much better way to market Zazzle postcards. Thanks in advance. https://podpostcard.blogspot.com/2022/06/cactus-on-postcard.html

I'm not a mod but here's what I came up with by replacing the url's, titles, shop name and image links in one of my HTML blocks with the ones for this product. You can get the image link by opening the share link then opening the image in a separate window, and copying everything in the url to the left of the question mark. It's tedious, but a workround until a mod chimes in on whether this is going to be fixed.

Here's the result:

And here's the HTML code:

 

 

<div style="text-align:center;line-height:150%">

Best that can be done at them moment I guess, ask the originator to post the HTML.... here's some, if you'd care for this postcard (original photo, steam engine detail)

<div style="text-align:center;line-height:150%">

Thanks! I love this card, and I have added it to my "train collection" which is where I am collecting train postcards I intend to use for the blog. I'm waiting to see if I will continue the blog or not.....these posts already take me hours to assemble, over a stretch of several days. Adding time and energy to the process by creating HTML or by requesting HTML from designers (many of whom may have died years ago, for all I know) is probably not something that's ever going to work for me.  When too many roadblocks appear, one has to evaluate whether there might be other things to do with one's time.

Just noticed a typo in the code I shared. The link for the image was missing some characters. Here's hopefully a corrected version:

Thanks for taking the time to put that together!

It's good to see it can probably be done even by someone like myself with no code training.  I am starting to ask myself, could I ever justify devoting my life energy and tearing my hair out with all these extra steps (up to a dozen times per blog post) just to be able to help Zazzle advertise a low value product like postcards.

You're welcome! Yes, it's tedious and time consuming. I sure hope Zazzle puts the old links/options back right there on the product page. This has really messed up my workflow so I'm taking a break from creating anything new.

Wise decision. I am taking a break also, and will be looking at other, more convenient options for content for my blog.
