Pictures are the easiest exercise in HTML.
1)Right click on the picture.

2)Highlilght "properties".

3)While highlighted, click "ctrl" and "c" (copy) at the same time. This puts the source code on your clip board.

4)Then go to your reply box. Click to put the cursor in your empty box. Then click "ctrl" and "v" (paste) at the same time. This should paste the properties source code in your reply box.

It should look like this:
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqEOKkUE1pFpDe0FBNjh8IPqiQ~~0_12.JPG

5) Now, go to the front of the line of source code that you just pasted and place these figures there without any spaces between letters, except 1 space between img and src. < img src="

I put a space there between the < and the img just so you can read it on this screen. Otherwise, the phrase disappears when I do it the right way. You need to leave the first space out in real life! The phrase should have only one space -- between the img and the src.

5) Go to the end of the property source code and type, without any spaces ">

It should look like this (and I'm adding a space where it shouldn't be so you can read it -- remember to leave out the space in real life.):
< img src=" http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqEOKkUE1pFpDe0FBNjh8IPqiQ~~0_12.JPG">

Most image source codes will have jpg or gif in them somewhere. Some are blocked and you can't post the picture, but most will work for you.

Then click "preview" and your picture should show. If not, you have a space where it shouldn't be, or you didn't pick up all of the code. Try again until you get it. Posting pictures is fun.
