    From the lass who needed to ask a million times

    (and it still takes me half an hour!)

    Picture posting is fairly simple, but the image needs to be on a server which supports linking.

    To post the picture use the following command

    <img src = "put the picure url here between the quotes">

    For example, if the url for the picture is http://www.kylie.com/kylie_gorgeous.jpg you would type

    <img src = "http://www.kylie.com/kylie_gorgeous.jpg">

    That's it - just put that in your post where you want the picture to appear

    To find the url of a picture move your mouse onto the picture you want and click the right mouse button - then select properties - you should then see a box of file information including the url (address) - you can then copy that and paste into your post


    If the picture is on your own PC you first need to upload it to an image hosting site. There are several free ones which host the image for a limited time, a good one is imageshack.

    http://www.imageshack.us

    Just browse to the picture on your drive and upload it. Then copy the direct link to the image.

    Some sites do not allow linking for these you will need to find another version of the picture on another site.

    Dont forget you can test by using the Preview button
