Posting pics isn't that difficult. First thing is that they need to be loaded onto the web. You can do this many ways but the easiest is to create a account with photobucket.com or use a facebook account. Once they are on the web, or pictures that are already on the web you'll need the web address of where that picture is at. What I do is simply place my mouse cursor directly on the picture and right click on it and you'll see an option to "copy image location" select that. In a FR post box you would type

Well Sporke, here's a bit more on posting pictures on FR.

First, you probably only have a picture on paper - that has to be scanned on your printer (hopefully has scan capability) and the result of the scan saved to your computer as a .jpg image (yeah, there are some 30 or more types of images - but, stick with saving it as a .jpg image - USS_IOWA-1.jpg, etc.

diverteach is right - you then have to upload that image somewhere others can then get to it. You may not have that now, and setting it up can always be a bit of a pain. For now though, I'll help with that, if you want. Email the .jpg to me (ron@anyold.com) - once you have created it - I'll put it on my 'server' so you can post here, by pointing to it.

That isn't really difficult... use code that looks like the following, which points to a picture in the directory that I would put yours in - the difference is this points to a picture already in that directory, and provides a 'named link' to it:

< a href="http://www.anyold.com/FR/Ron's_'office'.jpg" > Ron's Office </a >

The following is the result of actually typing that code into this post:

Ron's office

To have the picture display in the post - without a named link, you would use the following code (without the space between the less-than and greater-than brackets)- and of course with the actual picture-file name:

< center > < img src="http://www.anyold.com/FR/Ron's_'office'.jpg" > < /center>

Let me know if you would like to do this... it really isn't that hard, and I'll help - and/or you can send FReepmail if you have questions.
