Alrighty, I know there's gotta be a place somewhere here telling me how to do this, but I'm a ditz and can't find it, so I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction?...

How do we get pictures in our posts? That's so nifty lookin, and I wanna try...lol

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

it has blown in the past with
its crutch its old age and its widsom
it whispers no this won't be the last

Do make sure that whatever pictures you are using, are not under a protected copyright.  I use to use from sites that offered free photos [freefoto.com is a good place for wonderful pictures] but since getting a digital camera, I've had too much fun using my own.

Without the space, of course - and - pictures can't be posted from your own computer unless they're uploaded to an internet site...

If you click on the "edit" icon at the top of this comment, you can see how it's done...

The only way I found out how to upload from my pc was to open in windows explorer.  when you right click the pick go to open with then internet explorer.  then i go to properties from that pick and post it that way.  that is the only way I can do it.

The only way you can upload a picture from your own PC is through an FTP program (File Transfer Protocol) or an integral webbuilder that has FTP built in - You HAVE TO have a destination on the web that will accept your picture, then you have to send it through the FTP program.

Once your picture is uploaded, where ever you send it, it will have an individually designated URL.  That URL is the address that you insert into the "img src" code.

If you think you're uploading from  your own computer directly to PiP, only you will be able to see the end result.  Your own computer will read from its own hard drive.  No one else's will be able to do that, and it won't be viewable from any other PC....

You have to start with finding a web space for your pics...
