You should, yes.

If you get a regular link it sounds like you haven’t selected the
proper (Blogging) grammar.
What does the status bar show? and/or the tool tip which appears on
⌃⇧P (press that when in a blog post). Also, what extension does
your image have? And do you have multiple blogs or just one?

When I start a new post I do so by selecting New From Template > Blogging > Blog Post (Markdown).
The status bar at the bottom says "Multimarkdown" (even if I select HTML from the Blogging new template).
The tool tip comes up as 'Convert to PDF' (either on its own or with 'letter' or 'XeLatex').
My images have .jpg extensions, and I have two blogs, both on wordpress.com.
Thanks for any advice.
