So the simplest way is to use something like Photobucket or one of hundreds of other free and/or paid services out there for hosting photographs. Then you click on a "Share" icon to retrieve the photo URL, copy that, and paste it in the box when you open the "insert Image" icon above. See, now THAT *was* simple. LIONS are simple and like simpe solutions. Then while you are reading my post, trying to figure out what it was I said, the LION will be able to sneak in behind you and join you for dinner. ROAR

It is that simple.

I use Photobucket, but Flickr also seems to be used by many.

OneWolf has a beautiful cat a nd all that, but here is how you put a photo in your post.

First you drill a nole in the post, any post will do, but onese neared the house will be easier to get to. Then you print the photo on your printer, and roll it up and insert it into the hole that you made in the post. THAT is how you get a picture in your post. Unless of course you want to go through the trouble of prying the back off of your monitor and just slipping it in there.

Nos the LION, on the other hand, runs his own server, and so it is a simple matter to cut and paste to the server and using my own URL. All recent versions of Windows have IIS server built into them, and can be used as a web server, but if you do not already know that, you certainly do NOT want to try using it.

You have to upload the photo(s) to a photo hosting service like photobucket.com and then provide the URL (link) to the hosted photo as the 'location' when you insert a photo using this site's message editor.

Just looking for the right way to get a couple images from my laptop into a post here.  The "insert picture" function does not let me add pics.  All advice is appreciated!
