If the picture is on your computer, you will need to post it on a web-hosting site (such as photobucket.com) and then you can use that URL to post the image here.

1. find a photo already on the net that you will use. Or upload it to a “photo hosting service” (can find on google. Each photo on such a site, has an address, kinda like houses have addresses)
2. right click on that photo
3. click on ‘properties’ —this shows the address of where that photo “lives”
4. highlight that complete address, then press control c —that address is now copied into your computers temporary memory

5. Type this: < img src= “” > (img is short for IMAGE, and src is short for SOURCE)
6. position your cursor between those quotation marks
7. past the address into that space, in between the quotation marks

See, crazy words and numbers located between the “< >” marks are telling the computer, “hey here, the human is talking to YOU, Mr. computer....and not to humans....” So it knows to keep that stuff secret between the coder and the computer..it’s not shown to human viewers.

Cuz when a person is typing computer code, some of those words are for computers only, and then other of those words are instead aimed at humans, right? So you gots to have a way of distinguishing those two different things, dig?

Get it?
