Hi Matt,

I see the wiseguys are showing off but are not offering you much actual help, with the exception of nebraska cowman. Anyway, I'll give you some generic assistance that is applicable to any picture on the net, assuming you are using windows. Hover your mouse pointer over a picture that you would like to link to. Then click your right mouse button. A dialog box will pop up. Select "properties" from that dialog box. You will see a line item that gives the internet address of the picture. In your case, the above picture was this: http://tinypic.com/vwwg8l.jpg. The same dialog box will indicate the size of the picture in pixels of width and height. In your case it was 960x720 pixels. That's a little large for many people to view without having to scroll around to see the whole thing. It is better to keep the size to 640x480 or less. The same picture that I linked to above shows up in this post as 400x300, to give you an idea.

From that properties dialog box, hover your mouse over that internet adddress and right click again. This time select "select all" from the dialog box that comes up. The entire address will now be highlighted. Next, hover your mouse over the address again and right click. Now select "copy" from the resulting dialog box. This places the address of the picture you want to link to on your windows clipboard.

Now, when you are composing your message in the post message box, type the following, exactly as shown:

<img src="http://tinypic.com/vwwg8l.jpg" height="300" width="400">

When you get to the first quote marks, press ctrl-v to paste in the address of the picture (in this case, it's your picture at http://tinypic.com/vwwg8l.jpg), then continue exactlyas shown. I know it sounds complex but once you get the hang of it, it goes fast and easy. The beauty of it is that it is applicable to any picture and you don't have to get some predetermined code from a hosting site to put in your message box. Plus you can resize as needed on the fly.

Good luck,

Rod
