Posting Pictures

1) You first need to host the photos on the internet somewhere. There are a few different places to do this, but not all of them are free. See the next post for a list of free photo hosting sites that work.

2) Once you have your pictures hosted somewhere you need to get the URL that points to the picture you want to post. If you do not know how to do that please go here.

3) Now you need to place the URL between the IMG tags and it should look just like this example...

[img]http://www.photobucket.com/images/masthead_03.gif[/img]

# www.photodump.com

# www.geocities.com
To make it work from geocities you need to rename your .jpg or .gif files to .txt then uploand and link to them just like it was an image. There is still one other problem with using geocities as your host. They have a limit on bandwidth per file and once you exceed that in one day they will stop hosting the picture till the next day. If you have payed the $5.00 a month for webspace you do not need to use the .txt trick and you will not have to worry about the bandwidth limit every day.

# www.tripod.com
To make it work from Tripod you need to rename your .jpg or .gif files to .txt then link to them just like it was an image.

# www.angelfire.com
