I greatly appreciate your attempt to help me learn more about posting pictures. I had actually printed up the HTML Sandbox instructions and kept trying to follow them, but I think I'm a lost cause.

I didn't realize that pictures posted to this site had to be "hosted" -- no wonder I couldn't find a URL address that made sense.

But then, I've seen pictures FReepers have posted of themselves or events -- and so I thought there was a back door or something.

Anyway, thanks for the info!

If you use Internet Explorer, when you find an image you want to share, you would right-click on it, and select "Properties" from the popup menu. Then select and copy the whole "Address (URL)" line, which will start with "http://www..." and end with the "...JPG" or "...GIF". That will be what gets pasted onto the forum post, surrounded with the needed image tags:

<IMG SRC="(paste the URL of the picture)">

Just keep in mind that everyone here was a beginner at some point.

I learned most of what I know from other folks. That's why I try to share the knowledge whenever needed. Everything else I learned by doing and practicing.

You should look into using the server space that is provided by most ISPs for your own personal use. The info is readily availbale from them on what server names to use and the tools are free on the Internet. All you need is an HTML editor and maybe an ftp (file transfer) program. It really is no harder than creating a document in a word processor and then emailing it. The principles are the same.

Make your own web page and create a masterpiece! All it takes is time and a little practice. If I learned it...ANYONE can do it.
