5 years ago You should not be writing in an R chuck when you upload an image or link, so that isn't the problem. I'm not sure why you're getting that error message though, and the strange thing is when you tried to upload a link in the question it worked.
Can you copy in more of your code to help identify the issue?

5 years ago Okay, sure, here is more of my code. Good to know that the link worked at least!
Hi! My name is Kim Pearson and I am an MPA candidate at the University of Washington. I graduate this June with a focus in policy analysis. I studied Sustainability (Economics) and Spanish Literature and Culture at Arizona State University from 2008-2012. I am originally from Phoenix, AZ, which was a great place to learn about sustainability challenges and successes at the local level, especially in regards to climate, transportation, urban planning, and energy. I also spent time learning about social policy issues, such as immigration, civil rights, and labor. I came to the Evans School to learn quantitative and qualitative data analysis skills that can then apply to these social and environmental policy issues at the local level.
Evans School of Public Policy & Governance
I am very interested in this course because I would like to assist decision makers and analysts in understanding complex policy issues in areas like transportation, the environment, and social welfare. I took Visual Analytics with Professor Magallanes and really enjoyed learning the power of R to create helpful and impactful graphics of data. I aim to apply these skills at the local government level, helping both internal and external stakeholders better understand and interact with key policy issues.
In terms of what scares me about the course, I want to make sure that I practice using R enough so that I can easily remember how to undertake key functionalities. I want to avoid falling out of practice from one week to the next.

5 years ago I'm not sure what the issue is. The link itself works, so I'm not sure why R isn't interpreting it correctly. I've plugged it into my document and I got a message that it couldn't fetch the link. Figuring out why it doesn't work is more important that the assignment, but you could also save the picture in the file with your Markdown document and link it there using the same code essentially.

5 years ago Alright! I’ll try that.

To post an image in the R Markdown, can you write it directly in R Markdown or do you have to insert a chunk in R?
I wrote the following just on its own and within an R chunk and I keep getting an error message...
Error: unexpected '[' in "!["
The same thing happens when I try to insert a link.
