OK, here's the image referred to in my last post:



Some tips and tricks:

If you place your mouse pointer over an image displayed almost anywhere on the net and then right click, you'll get a list of things you can do with the image. Down near the bottom of the list is View Image Info. If you click on that, you'll see a little window of info about the image Including location, type of image, size of image, and dimensions of the image.

One of the other choices on the image menu is Save Image As... If you see an image out on the net that you want a copy of for yourself, you can select this and save a copy of the pic to your hard drive or other storage media.

Generally, folks frown on linking directly to their images as it uses up bandwidth for their websites. So if you find an image you want to include in one of your posts, rather than link directly to it, save it to your system and then upload it to your Photobucket or other storage account. Now you can insert it into your post without creating a problem for or with someone else.
