You still need to have a host site like Picasa or Photobucket. Once you have it there, they'll give you a couple options for each photo so you can share it through email or a direct link or post it into a forum. Select the one that says HTML or IMG. Copy that and then just paste it into the message. It will paste in as text but once you hit "preview message" it should show up.

Hope that helps!

I just got a camera and I want to post pics. Which foto sharing site do you recommend?

www.photobucket.com

is very easy to use.

Thanks. I just joined Photobucket but I have a friend that swears by Picasa...pros and cons?

There is a recent thread on the conversations page on just exactly this subject. Picasa users love Picasa and Photobucket users love Photobucket. I'm a photobucket person but think they both offer similar services. Both have free services so try them both and see which you prefer. Check out the discussion on Conversations, too!

I use Shutterfly: shutterfly.com

It was recently reviewed as having the best quality photos and services out of all online photo products.

you will need to read the fine print, some of those sites (maybe even shutterfly) do not allow hotlinking, since it is using their resources.

Go with Photobucket as Kate suggested. I am sooooo easily frustrated with computers and now that I'm dealing w/Photobucket, no more stress.
I downloaded my photos right off the memory card into "My Pictures" and once they were saved on my computer, I then was able to download right into Photobucket, one at a time. Very, very easy. Photobucket will then give you (I think 4 different options) as to how you want to copy and paste them into different sites. Like Kate said, click on HTML, it will highlight and tell you "copied" and then paste it right into your GW post. Once you're done, click "Preview" and your photos will magically appear. I was so thrilled!
Good luck!
Sue.
