Trying to become more tech savvy with my post and was told to come to this thread and learn html. I was attempting to post a picture from my email that I uploaded from my desktop. I’ve been trying to figure this out....try a few more times tomorrow......

You're in the right place, FRiend!

The first thing you need to do in order to post a pic is to get it out on the web, not just in your email.

You can either 1) find the same photo already on the web somewhere or 2) upload the photo to a free image hosting service such as TinyPic, PhotoBucket or ImageShack.

If the photo is already out there on the web, you can usually just right-click on it, select "properties", find the URL (the text that starts with "http://", highlight it and copy it to the clipboard with a CTRL+C. If you upload the photo to one of the hosting services, they will provide you with a URL to copy.

Once you have the URL on the clipboard, posting it is as easy as <img src="[URL of the image]">

For example, the URL for the image below is "http://www.westath.org/images/home_page_pics/computer.jpg".

To add that image to my post, I'll type <img src="http://www.westath.org/images/home_page_pics/computer.jpg">

Hope that helps!
