When I want to post photos I first upload them on to Photobucket. Then I copy the IMG code from below the photo and you can press the insert link option and paste the link there.

:wb: i have not installed the photobucket yet , although the disc came with the computer.... will work on that...seems takes hours on the phone with someone who dosent speak english just to set the computer up .... that turned me off to installing the other options on the disc...seems this computer has something called ''nero'' but did not give me the option of ''edit'' ,only lets ya change colors and get the red-eye out..so back to the phone to install photobucket i guess...thanks guys...

photobucket is a website, an online photo library that is free to use, you can upload any photo from your pc to photobucket easily, then adding a pic from there is easy on to a post here.

when you click on that box that says IMG code is should say copied, if not highlight it all and then right click and choose copy.

Then simply paste that code into a post here and like magic the picture will appear.

As Xingu has stated above click on the Img code and copy it, Then go on to Pleco Planet and when you are ready to add the photo click on the 'Insert Link' icon just above where you are typing (picture of the Earth and a chain link) and when the box appears paste the link on there. (Right click and select paste)
To make sure it has worked you can click on Preview Post (Below) to see if you have done it right.

Or you can use photo editing software if you wanted to upload to the gallery. I use photoscape which is free and quite easy to use.
