1. Upload your digital photo to your web site or to a photo service's web site (<a href="http://www.photobucket.com/">Photobucket.com</a>, <a href="http://www.photoworks.com/">Photoworks.com</a> and <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com">Shutterfly.com</a> are a few examples of photo services). May I suggest trying Photobucket.com? It seems to be the easiest to use.
2. Copy/paste the URL (see **NOTE below regarding URLs) of the photo into the body of the message that you are composing. It will look something like this (minus the word "Code"):
Code: Select all
http://www.yourisp.com/yourfolder/yourphoto.jpg
4. Once the URL has been highlighted, Click on the "Img" button which is located in the row of buttons immediately above the area where you are composing your message.
5. After you've clicked on the "Img" button, the URL of your photo will look something like this (minus the word "Code"):
Code: Select all
[img]http://www.yourisp.com/yourfolder/yourphoto.jpg[/img]
That's all there is to it providing that your photo is 600 pixels wide or less.
Please note that the BBCode [Img] tag does not do anything to restrict the size of the image. If you want to include a photo which is larger than 600 pixels wide, please use the HTML Img tag instead. Here's the HTML code:
HTML Unrestricted size (minus the word "Code"):
Code: Select all
<img src="http://www.yourisp.com/yourfolder/yourphoto.jpg">
Code: Select all
<img width="600" src="http://www.yourisp.com/yourfolder/yourphoto.jpg">
