Open an account at somewhere like Photobucket. (It's free).

Upload pics to it.
1. After they upload, double click on the picture you've uploaded and it will show you 4 links to the pictures.
2. Left click it to highlight it the line that says "Direct Link". (It will be an http address).
3. Right Click "copy" and copy the HTTP address. (do not try to highlight and copy the picture) highlight the "http//" address for the picture.
If you are working with a new post, you can skip to step 6.

If you are editing a post you've started originally, find the Edit button on the lower right hand corner. Click it- this opens your post for editing and adding pictures.

4. Put the cursor where you want the picture.

At the top of the edit block you'll see icons that start with "B, I U A , and then an 'earth/chain link' Icon, a 'mountain/sun' icon, and a 'thought bubble" icon.

6. Click on the "Mountain/Sun" This is the "Insert a picture" command.

7. It will say http//. highlighted in Blue
8. Highlight it, and right click "paste" you will need to erase the http// part that pops up and replace it with the http// part that you've copied from your photobucket address bar.
9. Once you paste the address to your pic, hit "Save" and it should post a picture. If you see a Red X in a box, you've done something wrong- usually it would be not taking the Http out of the paste line.

Good luck.
