I store my photos on http://photobucket.com/
the ones I want for piptalk

then just copy the image link they give you for your individual pictures...it's easy to  upload from your own computer

If you use the html code you may adjust the width and height as well.  Here is your image with the width set at "450" and height set at "400":

now I'm really confused, first the photo  vanishes and then when I use the html I can't make it smaller? What am I not doing?

Your "a href" tag isn't closed so it causes everything under it to be underlined as a link.  You may close it by adding < / a > (without the spaces) at the end of the html.

I always make my pictures the size I want on my own computer before saving and then  uploading to the photobucket...and you can use whichever of those 2  bottom links..I usually use html or the IMG one  I copy and paste it exactly as is in the box they put it.
I see you were able to do it~~ have fun.

If you ever want to see how someone posts theirs on here you can always  go to their edit box and click on it and see how they did theirs. That's how I learned most of my html language on here years ago ( although today it may be a bit outdated

I changed the image in my earlier post to be the same as yours, but I closed the a href tag by putting </a> at the end.  You can see it in my .
