Adding Pictures to a Post

Hello,

Is there a way to add pictures to a post here for an upcoming sale? I have a total of 14 pictures I want to include and am not sure how to go about it on here.

Thank you for any help given.
Tina

You have to have the image hosted somewhere else then add a special kind of link to it that causes the image to load from that other website but in a way that causes it to display here without needing to click on a link.

Image hosting: I do my own from a PC sitting in home, but this is not for the average user. I believe that image shack might host pictures for free.

Adding the picture: Click the "Img" button when making your post, paste the link to the image you want displayed and then click the "Img" button again.
Example - [img ]http://www.my_server.com/my_photo.jpg[/img] (without the extra space in the first "[img]" tag)

Hi SteveM,

Thank you for the information. I do use Photobucket so I should be able to use that when posting.

I'll make sure I click on "preview" before submitting.
