One of the easiest ways to provide your photo to be embedded into a post is to upload it onto an image hosting site such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc. That should be pretty straight forward, and the individual sites will give instructions on how to get your photos uploaded to their site when you sign up.

Once your picture has been uploaded, find its image location address (URL) by right clicking on the image and copying the image location. The URL will look something like:

http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg.

Some sites may even provide the appropriate HTML code in a text box below the photo for your convenience. It will be the one that begins with a href=... (This code looks different than the code below, because it will actually produce a picture link instead of just a picture.)

Let's say, as an example, that the address of the picture you want to post is http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg

To embed the picture into a post, use the command:
img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg">;
_____________________________________

If your picture is too large to fit nicely into the text page, you can add a width attribute.

The command with the width attribute would look something like:
img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg"; width=600>
_____________________________________

Another option is to use a text link which might be beneficial to people on slow connections.

To do this, use the command:
a href="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg">your text goes here/a>
_____________________________________

Note that I had to use special characters to get the commands above to show up here without turning into pictures, but you can use them as shown (but with the correct image web address).

Why was I passed over, when brains, were passed out? Guess I was out in the garden that day.

If you have a photobucket account, go to it and find the picture you want to post right click on it.A box will come up with different things you want to do . Click on the one that says copy image URL.Then come back to garden web and paste it in your message.It will send a link to your picture. It will look something like this http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd486/nmjw/038.jpg?t=1312969326 Run your mouse over this link and right click a box will come up click on the one that says Go to http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd486/nmjw/038.jpg?t=1312969326 and the picture will come up in a new tab. I still don't know how to make the picture come up automatically.

Blueirismoon,

See my post above.

Thanks for the help. Been a question on my list too.
