Guess i was last to post back there. So I get to repeat it, right?

Lesson on how to put image in your posts

(personally i think its too much of a bother)


1) Host your image, no wait, create your image or swipe one online, etc ;)

2) Now Host image, upload image your cloud server or use a image hosting site etc

3) Write the HTML code that will load your hosted image into the desired post SAMPLE CODE

Left Arrow thingy img src=http://(hosting site name & image name Right Arrow thingy (if I used them arrows the text would all disappear, right?)

4)Save your line of code (notepad, desktop post-it note, etc)

5) Copy/Paste code into every post that you want to use the image

(not too big a PITA I guess, lol)


If i missed something feel free to correct my tutuorial!

ThankQ for posting helpful information about the process for posting images.

I think your post helps clarify a key point of confusion. Images stored on users' computers can't be shared until they are uploaded to a website willing to host (store) images to which others link.

Once the image is in a hosting site, you can link to it (it's handy when it's already posted on another stable site like FR - just right click on the image to get the URL)

A URL is the complete address of the location of the image, so it includes the whole shebang, for example,  http:/www.somewebsitename.com/yourimagehere.png

Here's an example - it's the image that Stars & Stripes Forever posted (#47) for the America Prayer Vigil on this thread.

<img src="http://images.firstcovers.com/covers/f/freedom-3110.jpg" width="600"" />

If I like an image on sites like Twitter and I'm afraid it will be censored (deleted), I upload the Twitter image into a more stable hosting site like Imgur.com or other.
