Pic would be

< img src=”http://yourimage.jpg"; >

But remove the spaces inside the angle brackets - if I leave them in the HTML interpreter will make it a link and it will disappear ;)

To post a pic, you just find the URL of it and put up a hyperlink like this:

<img src="http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/5303/carterobama.jpg">

Replace the red 'URL' with the URL for your image. If you want to 'hotlink' an image you found on the web, right click on it and then select 'properties', the URL will be there which you can then copy and paste.

That text will post this image:

Of course, your image must be on the web somewhere on a web server. You can upload it to a site like Imageshack, which allows "hot linking" of images.

Remeber though, "yourimage.jpg" has to be on a server somewhere.

i.e. < img src="http://www.someserver.com/yourimage.com" >

Leaving out the spaces after the < and before the > of course.

Make sure your right-click on the picture you want to post and select Copy Image Location from the dropdown box. That’s what you will paste between the “ “ that other posters talks about in the img src command tag. The shortcut for copying is Ctrl-C or Cmd-C. The shortcut for pasting is Ctrl-V or Cmd-V.
