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}.

Clear as mud? I hope it helps.

OK, it looks like you have the IMG tag done correctly (Note the red X).

However, there might be a problem with the address of your picture. When I right click on your picture I get a long address but it looks like something is missing. I don't see anything showing what type of file it is (jpg, bmp, etc.)

It is possible that part of the address is still missing. Try this.........

Locate your photo on the server so that you are looking at the actual photograph. Right click on it. Select properties. Go to where it says Address (URL) and hilight the address while scrolling down. On a long address you might not be seeing the whole address when you check the properties. Hilighting the address and scrolling down at the same time should show you if you are missing part of the address.

I hope this helps.

Nice looking piece of hardware.

To pretty to shoot though.
