Problems with <img/> tag in wordpress

Question

So, I'm making a website in wordpress for the first time, and I'm using an FTP connection to the server and so on. I'm editing in the theme I'm using, and making a homepage. But I've ran into the problem, that whenever I type <img src="http://i.imgur.com/C8Ws3dO.jpg"/> It works just fine, but when I try adding the directory or whatever, it gets mad and shows a little image icon instead <img src="hp-image.jpg"/>

Oh, just to make sure noone says "You sure you got the right directory?". Yes. puu.sh/upBLa/18626797af.png — andr813c

Files in your theme's folder are not in the root of the site. So yeah, it is a path problem — j08691

Try using the FULL directory path name.

<img src="http://example.com/wp-content/themes/themename/hp-image.jpg"/>
