Method #2

Method #2

Using an image hosting service like PHOTOBUCKET or Flickr.
These popular free services allow you to upload your photos to create online albums. You can make these albums public so anyone can view them or private so only you or someone you invite can see the photos.
Once you have created a free account (free accounts are limited to the size and number of albums) and followed their instructions to upload your photos. (These instructions are for Photobucket, but I'm sure Flickr is similar.)
#1 Select "EDIT" from top of page.
#2 Select the photo you want to post. Select "Adjustment". Select "Resize" and choose the size you would like to post. Some examples are below. Once your photo is resized click on the "Direct link to photo" on right and the URL of that size photo will be copied to your clipboard.
THIS IS 120 X 80 PIXELS

THIS IS 640 X 440 PIXELS
And copy the address under "direct link to image"

#3 To insert the photo in your post select the "Postcard" in the menu and paste the photos address in the box that appears.
#4 Complete your post and click "Submit" or "Preview" to see your post. (If you choose "Preview" be sure to select "Submit" if the post is the way you wanted it.
!!!You do not need to download the Image Host's software to upload photos to them. If you prefer you can do it from the webpage itself. Some host's software will install a program that although very good, will want to change your wallpaper and add screen savers if you allow it to. !!!
