VANITY: How do I add pictures to a post?

Lighten up, Riceburner!

It's Christmas!

I’m looking at an image on a website that I’d like to post here. On my Dell laptop, I would merely right-click on the image and choose “Properties” to get the info I need. I don’t see how to do it on a MacBook (it’s a loaner).

Hold down the “control” key and then click on the image.

I use the image hosting site photobucket.com

They have free image hosting for a limited amount of image use and a paid version if you want to have a lot of image hosting capability.

You set up an account in minutes. You load images from your computer or other sites. Then post to freerepublic.com

REMEMBER, images are covered by copyright law and you have to have permission to use copyrighted materials if the images do not belong to you.

Clarity is needed - you can't just snag a favorite picture from a desktop folder...it has to be hosted someplace to be transferrable to our posts. ~ ErnBatavia

Tip: control the size with "height=nnn" like so:

I started a new email and named it “posting helpers” and closed it and allowed it to be saved in drafts.

I keep the basic templates for a link and for an image. When a new link comes around I copy it from the browser then open “posting helpers” hit enter a few times to make some space then paste the link I just copied. Then I scan up the page for a picture or link I sent earlier. I copy it and paste it at the end of the document after inserting a couple more blank lines. Then I copy the link I am intrested in (the link I just copied from the browser) and replace the link I just copied to the bottom of the page with the new one. Then I edit the text in the new one I am making.

Then I save the page.

Next I copy the new updated link and use it.

It is not as complicated as it sounds, and makes for a convenient history.

Double sided tape works for me ;-)

So that is how you post the text of htlm code.

The browser I use lets you look at source code for posts.

Pretty much. BykrBayb gave me the tip of using & l t ; for the < symbol.
