Obviously I am missing something. how to insert image? what does http://_url stand for. Sorry to be so clueless, there seems to be a step I am missing, thanks, Jon

I never could get the hang of that.I find it much easier to upload to a photo bucket account, then just copy the IMG code into my post.my kids got tired of trying to teach me the other way.

The step you're missing is to resize your image file so its resolution and filesize are smaller than the maximum allowed here. Not particularly difficult if you have an image viewing application that allows you to resize. Google's Picasa lets you resize when you "export" the images. That's what I do, even when I use the "upload to Photobucket" method.

Experiment as much as you want, but use the "preview" button instead of the "submit" button. When it's working the way you think it should, try posting to the "test" section of the forum.
