Howdy. It's not possible to upload directly to this site, so you'll need to upload the photo to an independent hosting site... First, you'll need to open an account with a photo-hosting site, such as Photobucket... www.photobucket.com ... it's free. Once that's done, make sure the picture is in the 'Documents' folder in your computer. Then go to your Photobucket album and click on the blue 'Choose File' button. This will open a new window displaying all the stuff in your 'Documents' folder. Click on the file you want to upload, then click 'Select' and wait for the data to transfer. Photobucket will tell you when it's done (a few seconds per photo), then click 'Save and Continue' Now that photo is in your Photobucket album, with it's own web address (URL). To post that photo here (or any other web site), click on 'IMG Code' from the tags listed under the photo. When you click on the tag, the code turns blue. Now 'Copy' the code (the one beginning with [ IMG ] http:// ... ) and then 'Paste' it here. When I say 'Copy' and 'Paste', I mean click on 'Edit' in your browser's tool bar, then click 'Copy'. Doing that tells your computer to remember whatever you had highlighted. If you didn't highlight something, the computer can't copy it.
Then to paste it, click on your reply where you want the Copy pasted to, click 'Edit', then click 'Paste'. Your computer should have pasted the 'remembered copy' in the chosen spot in your reply.
Play with it a few times, you'll get the hang of it.For example, here is the URL from one of my photobucket files... img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Stretch67/wrenchingbanana.gif By clicking on the Photobucket IMG Code to highlight it, and then Copying it, I can then bring the code back here and Paste it... Now then, if the photo already exists on the internet somewhere, right click on it, then click on 'Properties'. Copy the URL from the Properties window, and then paste it in between the Image tags... Image tags: When you click 'Reply', the reply window opens. See the two rows of square buttons above the row of smileys? Click on the one that looks like a postcard, fourth from the left on the bottom row. When you click on it, this appears: [ img ] [ /img ] Paste your photo's URL in between the two Image tags, and you're done. For example, I copied the URL kwc.org/blog/archives/resources/2006/jedi.squirrels.jpg With just the URL by itself, it's a link. You have to click on it to open its window and see it. But put it between the Image tags (with no spaces)... Yep, Jedi squirrels. We're screwed.I know it seems complicated at first, but once you get the knack of it, you can do it in your sleep.

Or you can e-mail it to me and I'll put it in my Photobucket album and post it here for you.
