Leave out the space after "<", otherwise like this:

< img src ="[URL where picture is hosted]">

Jim Rob doesn't have the budget to host your snapshots ;)

Example:

< img src ="http://www.analemma.de/images/articles/dicicco.jpg">

without the space after < produces this:

Right click the pic and get its address.

Paste it into the following:

<img src='XXXXXXXXX'>

It will look like:

By the way, I made the code appear above by using <xmp> before it and the same thing with a "/" after it.

OK, first, any picture you wish to show has to be "hosted on the web"-- it has got to be on a web server, not your hard drive. Google "free photo hosting" for a list where you can put your own pictures. If it's already on the web, hover your pointer and right-click-- see that "properties" in the menu? Click that, and the "http" stuff is the web address of the graphic. Copy that somewhere, then take this string: < img src="" > being sure to remove the space I added after the first bracket and before the last to make it "visible" here. You copy the web addy in between the quotes, and viola!

Two steps to posting images:

1. Figure out the image's URL, perhaps by right clicking on the image as it displays on some web site and examining the properties or if your browser supports it, picking the Copy Image Location choice off the right-click menu, to put the image URL directly into your copy&paste buffer. For the next step, let me use a URL for an image of one of my favorite animals: http://www.isrealli.org/wp-content/uploads/cow.JPG
2. Given that URL, then type into your FreeRepublic post or reply:

   <img src=http://www.isrealli.org/wp-content/uploads/cow.JPG>

The above html line, if posted directly into a reply here, displays

For best results, add the dimensions of your image to the HTML. This will help the web page to load in everyone's browsers without a lot of unnecessary page redrawing and jumping around.

For example, if you have an image file called "myImage.jpg" uploaded to your server with an eponymous domain name, and the size of the image is 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels tall, the HTML would look like this -

<img src="http://www.GunHoardingCapitalist.com/myImage.jpg" width="640" height="480">

Just type that HTML into your FreeRepublic.com text box, and it will embed the image in your message.

Of course, you would substitute the correct domain name for your host, the correct file name for your image, and the correct dimensions for your image.

Adding the dimensions is an especially good idea if your image was not stored with the standard resolution - 72 dots-per-inch (DPI). If you used your digital camera to create the image, it is is probably using a higher resolution.

95% of the time, this question is asked by someone who is really asking this question “Someone sent me a picture in an email. How do I post it here?”. The short answer is “You cannot”.
