First you need to find some web space to upload the picture to, there are a number of free services available (photobucket is one I know of but I know there are others).  Once it's uploaded you just need to put the URL inside the image tags and you're off and running.


the image tags use the square brackets [ ], I'll use parenthesis so you can see the tag

If you replace the () with [] brackets you'd see this.

Thanks, just about one in a million... most nights I can't hit the broadside of a barn.

Glad it helped.
