Technical question... how to post a picture on a post?

[Master Ray]

I'm a bit of a techno-thickie... can someone far more clever than me advise me on how to do this?

ok. you need to get the url of the picture. so........it needs to be available either on a public site like Facebook or bogle images or on a file hosting site like Photobucket.

usually if you right click on the image a small list appears and on there should be an option to "copy image address". click on this. it copies the image address in your clipboard ready for pasting it elsewhere.

then in the text box on the site you wish to post it simply type

or you can simply press the button on  the left hand side of the second row of buttons above. it looks like a pic of the mona lisa i think. this will insert the  and will place the cursor in the middle so you can paste the link in.

it should then appear in the preview.

on certain sites this does not constitute a post so yo may also have to type in at least 3 characters as minimum length post.

I also struggle with this modern tech stuff, however I always use the Imgur site for pictures and find it really easy. (Once my daughter showed me how to do it)

Here's another technical tip many doesn't often know:

-how to put a link (to somewhere in the net) with a word you want to specify; like fat which leads to a hamburger photo.

Write for example: "fat" (without asterisks) -you can decide the word you want to 
Highlight it and click the tag Insert Hyperlink
Then continue before the first ending parenthesis: type = and the link address you want the text "fat" to lead to.

You can see it here now in a plain text form as I use wrong type of rounded parenthesis: (url=http://wiseguyspizzacafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/hamburger.png)fat(/url)
-the green coloured part is the copypasted link with an addition of = sign in front of it...

So you should use Alt Gr when typing parenthesis signs, not Shift. So it's only actually about couple of url-words with parenthesis and a right place you insert the copypasted link.
