re:
"..How do you send an e-mail picture, so I can post it here?..."

Say what?

You can send a picture from your hard drive using email to
anyone you want, but I don't know of any way to access that
email (and picture) to be used on a web site. You need a url to
use for the html code, and your email isn't on a web server,
it's in a mail bin. It doesn't allow access from the internet.

Whoever you use for an ISP should be giving you some space
on their server to be used for a "home page". Once you upload
a picture to that server, you can use that picture's url to post it
anyplace you like. However, using your own ISP and homepage
will also allow everyone to know your identity! Not that you might
care...... It depends how controversial you are, and how much you
can tolerate. (heh heh)

You can post a picture on some of the "free" classified ads pages
on the Internet, or ebays, for that matter. And you can use that url
to repost the picture here.

For instance..... From this person's account:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1015983442

 I can bring their picture here:

(http://abacus.sj.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/18b948ce96e33a3ab5526b8f/i-2_T.JPG)

You can find the address (URL) for any picture you see, by right clicking
on it, choosing "properties" and copying the picture's URL by highlighting
the URL you see and right clicking on that, and clicking "copy". Paste it
into the html code for an image and there ya' go.

To use your own pictures, you'll have to upload them to the Internet at
some point. Use your own page (risky) or some free location (not risky).

Did that help?

Yes, that helped a lot. I'll use the non-risky method. Thanks a bunch.
