When you read the image rules, you'll find out that you need to host your image on the Web server, and include HTML tag in your message linking to the picture. Web space is easy to come by these days (check with your ISP), but if you positively stuck without Web presence, you can upload your images to temporary image hosting area of my photo pages.

Jerry,

Don't feel bad. This forum is pretty high tech. The forum doesn't store any pictures. The messages listed only store a pointer to outside storage space. You must have your own web space or someone else's you can use. Many internet service providers, like AOL or other local companies, allocate a small space for you on their web server, when you sign up for internet service. You use a file transfer tool called ftp to copy your image from your home computer to the server that you are going to use on the web. Next you open your web browser and visit the web space that you just uploaded to and check to make sure the image is displayed. Then you create a "question" as you did before and in the message you imbed the pointer to your web space that looks like: <img src="http://Yourwebserver/~Jerryswebspace/picture.jpg"> where all the names are just examples. If you need step by step instructions just send an email.
