[item=brave blue bee]
name: brave blue bee
caption: This brave blue bee buzzes boldly for the blue Bogsneaks. Being brave is bad for bees, however, and they get eaten.

How do you get the image of the item onto your post?
[/quote]
[code][item=item name][/code]
for example [ item=brave blue bee] will result in [item=brave blue bee]
@SilverShadow5
You can do this:
[code][item=Sparkling Blue Neck Bow][/code]
And it will come out like this:
[item=Sparkling Blue Neck Bow]
