How to post an image...

**Note: to post an image to a thread or into your profile here on FR, the image must be located on a web server (i.e. you should be able to see it in your web browser from a specific website). Local images on your computer will not work.

1. Find the URL or Web Address to the image you would like to post (it will look something like this -> http://www.example.com/image.jpg).
2. Copy this address into memory on your computer (usually by hitting ctrl-c in windows), or write it down.
3. In your reply, or on your profile edit page, create the image HTML tag. It is of the form <img src="">, where the address that you have copied in step 2 is now pasted in between the "" following the src attribute (i.e. <img src="http://www.example.com/image.jpg">) .
4. Submit your message or profile (always preview to make sure it worked!) and presto, you have posted an image to FR!!

How to post sarcasm tags...

Since FreeRepublic allows for posting HTML, it also goes ahead and strips out incorrect HTML, like those wonderful sarcasm tags that we like to use. Seriously, this is very important when replying to any topic that mentions Hitlery, Jesse Jackson, etc.

1. Find the proper post that needs a sarcastic response.
2. Now, here is where HTML is your friend... Use the <xmp></xmp> tags, and in between those two tags, place your starting <sarcasm> and your ending </sarcasm> tags. The end result in the posting text box will look something like:

   <xmp><sarcasm></xmp>

   Boy is Hitlery purty!

   <xmp></sarcasm></xmp>

If you do this properly, your post will look something like this...

<sarcasm>

Hitlery for President in 2004!!
