Hi, stopem, thank you - just got the picture and story in email and thought I'd put it all together on a patriotic background for today's thread.

Did you learn how to post pictures from anyone yet? If not, here is a very quick 'lesson':

The first thing you have to know is that a picture has to be *on the net* already, and not just saved to your computer. The graphic I posted, for example, I uploaded to tinypic.com. Right-click on my graphic, and then select "properties" to see what the url is. You must have the url (it starts with "http" and ends with either ".jpg" or ".gif")

Mine is: "http://i3.tinypic.com/1174v87.jpg".

To POST a graphic, you have to have an html command for posting images. The command starts with a left bracket, followed by img src="http://....." and ends with the right bracket.

This is an example, the command to post my graphic:

<img src="http://i3.tinypic.com/1174v87.jpg" width=617 height=711>

It is also a good idea to always include the width and height of a graphic when you post them, especially if it is very large like mine is. You can find that when you right-click on a graphic, listed as "dimensions". The width will listed first and the height second - i.e. Dimensions 617 x 711.
