How do you insert

[intrigued]

pics into your post, versus posting them as attachments? I've been here long enough to have picked up on this, but I haven't. Any help would be very cool, thanks!

In order to insert a pic, the pic has to be hosted on a website. Then you can use the IMG buttong to insert it into your posts.

So then, if my pics are hosted on a webpage such as what I have with my ISP, I can link to the pic there? Thats a bit weird to me, since they are on my webpage because I loaded them from my own hard drive. OK, I never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the box...
Even so, please spell it out for me, the exact steps? Thank you, cg!

Try this and see if it works.
Open the picture that you want to insert.
Copy the web address (http://...........)
Then open your Lit posting
Click on the IMG button where all the text formating buttons are
Paste the address of your pic in the box that pops up
Finish your post and submit as usual

Ok a question. I opened my webpage, and had planned to just c&p the link in the address bar into my post. The problem is, there are 4 pics per page, how do I get one specific picture? When I tried to right click and save the pic to use as a link, it's the same name as what I have it saved as on my hardrive, which doesn't help.

Okay, then what you need to do is right-click on the picture and then click on "properties" at the bottom of the menu. That will bring up another window with specific information about that picture including it's web address. Copy that address and use it in your post and all should be well.

Cool, I'll give it a go!
