Jekyll how to display an image in a post
<p>I am trying to follow the Jekyll docs and am stuck on how to display an image</p>

<pre><code>---
layout: post
title:  "My first post!"
date:   2016-10-20 16:17:57 +0200
categories: jekyll update
regenerate: true
---

This is in the `_posts` directory.
It can be edited then rebuild the site to see the changes.
You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run `jekyll serve`, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.

![name of the image][{{site.url}}/assets/P6740674.JPG]

<p>I feel very silly asking this question as it is so basic but I can not find any answers to my question</p>

<p>Is it possibly a configuration error on my own system. I am using apache2, ruby gems, etc</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>
