ok,<
>firstly welcome,<
>secondly you''ll need to upload the photos to an image host.<
>there are a couple of free hosts you can choose from.<
>webshots www.webshots.com or photobucket www.photobucket.com are a couple.<
><
>webshots is good for setting up an album type gallery, whereas photobucket is handy for posting individual type photos and you also get a direct link to the photo.<
><
>so ok, say you use photobucket, (i''ll use a photo of mine for example)<
>upload the photo and you will get the link<
>it will look like this http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/steven81/finished3small.jpg<
><
>if you want to put the photo in the post so everyone can see it make sure that you have the HTML button marked (just above the comment window).<
>then click image on the left.<
>then paste the link into the window (to cut the link highlight the link from photobucket then ctrl + c then in the window ctrl + v).<
>then it should come up no prob in the post.<
>like this<
><
>also, make sure the photos aren''t too big because some people''s internet connection can''t handle big pics.<
>hope that helped not confused ya<
>if you still aren''t sure, just keep asking. Steven & Amy<
