If the picture is already on the Internet do this...
This technique is called Linking or Blogging
1. Locate the Picture that you want to post. (This will be on another web site.)
2. Now move your mouse cursor over the picture.
3. Make a RIGHT click. (Most of use do LEFT clicks only. But if you make a RIGHT click a menu will appear. You want access to that menu.)
3. On the menu that appears should be a term called "Properties".
4. Click on PROPERTIES.
5. A different window will appear. This will consist of all the properties of the picture that you are interested in.
6. The following information should be displayed:
..........Protocol
..........Type
..........Address(URL)
..........Size
..........Dimensions
7. Highlight the value that is given as the "Address(URL)". ANd do a copy. Note. Make sure that you get the entire long URL in. I hasve sometimes missed the front half or the end, so be careful.
8. Now when you post a message place this text in the message:
img src="" border=1
9. Make sure that you enclose it with <> . OK?
10. Finally PASTE the URL that you copied and put it in between the IMG SRC="", the "". OK?
Good Luck.
To vannroxs's answer I will add:
It can be helpful to add the image height and width as well. This allows the browser to set aside space for the picture before it is downloaded.
Without this the browser may have to wait for the picture to finish downloading before it can display the page. With it, the browser can display a "placeholder" and download the text surrounding the picture making the page appear more quickly for people with slow connections.
The final tag would look like this
<img src="
url" height="
image height" width="
image width">
In the right-click menu, the dimensions are given as width x height (I think).
Also, always include the
