Since I note that you are using Verizon, you can use your "home" page web site. You can usually load the pictures there and use that URL to reference the image here. I use a similiar function from AOL to display images here and elsewhere on the web. I tried to check to find out how to do it for you, but the Verizon site needs your area code and first three digits of your phone number to find out how to do it for your location in PA.

Ed was close, but not completely on the mark. The URL for the picture below is

http://www.johnacraft.com/images/n%20n%204%200.jpg

And I can see it. "%20" is nothing more than "space." If you strip off the "?mtbrand= . . . " it may display perfectly well.

Like this. Go forth and picturefy us, grasshopper:

Kelly,

I use www.fotopic.net for all of my online images. They offer free storage with no pop-up ads and have good tools for building galleries. I am not exaclty how to post an image into a post but fotopic says they allow you to do so. Here is the link that I end up with.
