Let's see if it works for me, too...

Yay!! First time to post a pic on FR :)

What a great 1st pic to post! Thanks, RF!

First, sign up for an html class at your local Community College. After you complete your AA Degree, this'll make sense to you:

Then you're ready to begin putting up pictures.

JK. It's very simple. Take a gander at W3Schools - Images. Store your image at a site like TinyPic, grab the URL, and paste it into the "img" code.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

There is a distinction as to whether the image is located on your computer or somewhere on the net.

Another way:

Go to photobucket.com (there are other free storage sites)
Sign up, usual username and password deal.

Click on “upload”. If the pix is on your computer, hit “browse” and select the image you wish to upload. Progress bar shows up and completes.

Select “home” or “go to my album”.

Once you see the uploaded image, click on it. On the right side of the screen will be four boxes. Those boxes have the various html prefixes necessary for posting said image on different sites. Some sites (most bulletin boards and fora) use [img]-————[/img] FR uses the code that begins <a=href-——————

Click on that one. The full URL, surrounded by the appropriate html tags, will be copied to your clipboard (on a PC) just by clicking on it.

Now in your FR “posting” sequence, paste (eg; ctrl-V) the clipboard contents into your post. Hit preview to see if it all works. If it does, post away.

I like to add a few blank returns BEFORE and AFTER the pix so it is not shoved all the way to the bottom of your post.

Any time you use *ANY* html code posting on FR, you have to specify line breaks/paragraphs manually. If you have a three sentence intro to your pix you’ll have to give line-feed or paragraph or carriage return codes (any of which will work) or all the text will run together.

Posting an image:

General:
<img src="[web server location]">

You can't just snag a favorite picture from a desktop folder...it has to be hosted someplace on line to be posted here.

Best bet is to save the image to an image hosting service, I use Photobucket. In Firefox right click and select "Copy image location", in Safari right click and select "Open image in new tab" and copy the address in the address bar. Other browsers have similar tricks.

Example:
This: <img src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Tip: control the size with "height=nnn" like so:

This: <img height=200 src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Incidentally, one of the most useful and slickest little pieces of software I've encountered for capturing miscellaneous images is MWSnap. Incredibly useful! Search for mwsnap and download it. MWSnap lets you designate virtually any screen area for capture (eg; save to your PC) or to copy onto another image. For example, if there's something about a stock chart I wish to point out to someone (in an email, say) I can capture the raw stock chart w/Mwsnap. Save. Now, open Paint and open that saved file. Draw lines, arrows, ovals, text, whatever, inside of Paint (A sort of primitive graphics program, but OK for this purpose. Obviously Photoshop is far superior, but Paint is free) Now save the annotated chart under the same (or a different) name. Now I can either email someone my annotated chart, or, upload it to photobucket if I wish to place my marked-up chart on a forum or here on FR. Pick the [a href=----" thingy and post to FR as detailed in my prior post.
