You have to host the pictures on the internet somewhere - the pictures are not really copied to FR, rather they are a link just like any other link. If you right click any picture on FR or anywhere else on the web, you can see and then copy the address (URL) of the picture itself and paste that into html code that makes it show up as the picture.

There are free places like York Photo (www.yorkphoto.com) (they are free for a year, then you have to buy some prints from them) that offer hosting of photos you upload, or your ISP may offer some other host. Some photo sites are better than others. Linked pictures don't stay up from Webshots or Angelfire or some of the others, but York links have stayed up for over a year in my experience without turning into x's.

But first, to learn how to post just any picture, rather than go into it here, you should check out how to do a lot of HTML formatting at one of the practice threads that is here. This is a good one.

HTML Bootcamp (Cyber patriot training)

Once you know how to post pictures in general, then you can upload your own pictures to York and post them the same way.

Thanks Ms. Hair. Also copying your post, along with the information from the link that you and P.E have sent. My youngest daughter designs web pages, so, if by the time I get to California, I don't have this together, I'll get her to help out.

Thanks again for the help.
