I use a free photo site called PHOTOBUCKET. You can upload tons of pictures on there and just send the short cut ink to your specific picture.
Hope this helps :))

Here's the code you need to make your photo show up within the message and not as a link...

[img src="insert full address URL of graphic here"]

Photobucket is one of the best, but there are other photo hosting sites. Once you have uploaded your photo, you need the full url of your picture to enter in your message. Open the photo online, (if you're using a PC) right-click on the photo... select "copy shortcut" then paste it into the code below replacing insert full URL of graphic here. If "copy shortcut" is greyed out and you can't select it, you can also find the Address (URL) if you select "Properties" instead. When you preview your message your photo should show up. If you get a little box with an X in it, you've made a mistake, so go back and check to be sure you entered the entire code including the http:// and the .jpg or other extension. Before you even upload any photos, you can practice right here on GW. Paste the address on my photo below into the HTML code above and create a test message on the "Test Forum".

This is the code of the image above.

[img src="http://www.absolutewonder.com/photos/photo1/photos1/AW0008.jpg";]

You must exchange the [ and ] at the beginning and end with and > (on the keyboard located above the comma and period) to make it work. (If I had used , an error box would have shown up instead of the code.) Don't leave out the quotation marks or add any spaces - the only space at all is between img and src.

Good Luck. I can't wait to see photos of your garden!

I don't know WHY I am so dense. I've subscribed to photobucket, I've gone and signed up for Shutterfly, and I still can't figure this out. bear with me, please and eventually I'll get this and you'll get some of my incredible pictures from Faerie Holler (or Fairy Holler, as I more often call it)

Mad, congratulations in posting a photo! What you posted looks like a "thumbnail", a small copy of your original. If that's what it is, if you go back to photobucket and click on that thumbnail, a larger image should open. The URL for that larger image is the one you need to use. Easy fix!

In Photobucket, copy what's in the TAG box under your photo.
Paste it in the message box here. Hit Preview Message. Voila! Hit Submit Message.

here goes.......

Congratulations! You did it. That is very beautiful.
