You have to host them. That means giving them a home on the Internet, since, in most cases, websites and places like this won’t let you share stuff from your hard drive.
There are lots of sites where you can do this.
Me and irish stu, among others, like imageshack
Go there and set up an account.
Then find a link to Upload Images.
Hit Browse.
An Explorer window should open, showing your computer.
Find the image you want to upload, select it, and then hit Host it!
(Check the box for “remove size/resolution bar from thumbnail?”)
In a few seconds, it’s done.
Keep doing this until all the piccies you want have been uploaded.
Now you click My Images, it should show you a page with thumbnails of all your pictures.
To stick one into a message here in Flobistan, when you get to the part where you want to stick it, click Img up there^.
You’ll get a nicely matched set of tags.
Now go back to your images on imageshack and click the “i” button to the right of the one you want to stick in.
It’ll open a page with a whole list of URL windows down the side.
Find the one called Direct: and select the URL in the box.
Copy it (right click and choose Copy OR Ctrl+C).
Go back to where you’re drafting your message here, and paste (right click and choose Paste OR Ctrl+V) the URL between the tags.
Preview your message, the piccie should be there.
If you see the tag or something else, go back and try it again.
Congratulations, you are now officially smarter than jimipresley.
Whatever that’s worth.
