First off you will need to place your photos on a server somewhere. There are various places that will host your photos for you at no charge. However, not all of them will allow you to link to your photos without going directly to their site. I
think Photobucket.com allows linking.
Once your photo is on a server, you need to know it's address (URL) on the web. To find this address I usually right click on the picture. This opens up a menu box. From that menu I select "Properties". This will open up another box containing information about the picture. One of the pieces of information is the address (url) of the picture. This is the address you need.
Once you have the address and want to include the picture in the post, you need to put the IMG tag in your post. This might get confusing but stay with me.
[ this is a left bracket
] this is a right bracket
/ this is a slash
MyPictureHere This will represent the address (URL) of your photo.
To post your picture, type it as follows with no spaces............
left bracket IMG right bracket MyPictureHere left bracket slash IMG right bracket (REMEMBER...NO SPACES)
Here is an example. I will use {} these instead of the actual brackets, so you can see the actual code instead of the picture.

Here is what the above example looks like if I use [these] instead of {these}.
