There's a very easy way to copy pictures, links, and other html, without having to learn much of anything about html-- go here:
http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/IE/WebAccess/default.asp
and download and install "web developers accessories." ( It is for Internet Explorer only, not other browsers ) Once it is on your PC, you can hilite any part of a webpage and right-click to "view partial source." Another right-click will pop up a menu, from there you "select all" and then "copy." That will load it in your clipboard, and you can paste from there.
As an example, view partial source of that magazine cover above your reply:
< P >< IMG src="http://www.drudgereport.com/lh1.jpg" >< /P >
Note- I added a space to the "greater than" & "lesser than" tags so they would become visible- to actually use the line shown by view partial source this is not necessary- you just copy & paste.
