inserting pictures in text?

paradox998 · 09-14-2007, 09:39 PM

I can shrink my pictures to acceptable size, but cannot figure out how to insert them in the text. When I tried, they are shown as url's but the pictures don't come up in the text. I am sure I am being thick. What is the trick? Thanks

there are some tips and hints somewhere on the forum, but I don't know where the &&% I put them

edit your post, whereever it has the letters URL make them IMG

computers do EXACTLY what we tell them, so the url ("Uniform Resource Locator," this is the address of a resource on the Internet.) or something like that tells the computer you are on, hey, this is a LINK. By putting in the IMG (image) it says, holy moley, this is a picture! (image) and shows it as a picture.

if someone clicks on the url they come up as a picture, unless you screwed up in copying the url... :P then just upload the picture again
