Didn't do the top ones yet because that stuff is right up top. Once my TOC gets long, I'll make those anchors.
I either hot link images from the website I find them on or use imgur.com. I have a screenshot app that allows me to send to imgur without having to actually go there and it automatically puts the url on my clipboard. I do have my own web hosting and once in a while pluck one of my images or upload one to post.
Like I said, my profile page is about to get huge. I'll be putting this, https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4037718/posts?page=41#41 and most of this, https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3973069/posts?page=113#113 on it. That and rearranging what I already have.
I use the FR Posting Form Enhancer from here; http://cynwoody.appspot.com/fr_posting_form_enhancer.html which adds buttons for all the basic html elements.
Notice the lack of closing html paragraph tags above? FR closes most tags for you.
Those of us who were here in the early days have vivid memories of FR not closing tags. Someone would neglect to close his italics, and every post thereafter would be italicized--hence the battle cry, CLOSE YOUR ITALIANS! Finally, John R tweaked the software.
