Need help posting pictures from hard drive.

[VR-21]

I'm looking for a way to post pictures and graphics that are not from some web source. The HTML method won't allow me to post a picture that's stored on my hard drive. I'm somewhat new to FR, blogging and HTML and would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.

I use www.hunt101.com that is a picture hosting site.

Try this:

Unless you want to change your PC into a zombie server, it isn’t a good idea to post pics to the web from your hard drive.

That is what image hosting is for ;)

My use of the tag “arrows” in my post was the wrong thing to do and therefore I’m using parens...(img src=””)

Use Tinypic, it seems like everyone is using them nowadays.

I use the free servce Photobucket.com. You upload your pics there, and they give you the code so you can post it in FR. Your pics can stay on photobucket, allowing you to create a nice little album of quick pics for posting!

You will have to use a web hosting service...my favorite is Photobucket. Tinypic is a good one also.

You have to upload it to an online image site that allows "hotlinking" like Photobucket, or Imageshack. Then you can hotlink to it. Imageshack doesn't require a login or account. Just upload and go.

There are also other services like Tinypic and there used to be a list of them here

I take it then that posting from the hard drive is not normally done.

I just went to tiny.pic and now see what’s to be done. Thank all of you for your help, and have a good day.

What everyone has said.

You need to post them to a website using an FTP program. A lot of people use photobucket.

"Were you trying to do this?"

Yes (redfaced).
