Hi Knievel. Ok, I've tried to explain it earlier here too but I saw it's not so easy, because if we use the
right kind of parenthesis inside links, it doesn't show up here but is a correct link to somewhere in the net. So I'll try to tell it in a different way:
You can link to any picture
on the net by copy-pasting the address of the photo at the site where it is. For example, right click the photo and open it in another window. And copy the address from the address bar...
Then here on the forum when posting a reply; just paste the address and then highlight it. Then click on the "mona lisa" pic/tab ) on a left in the second row of commands above the smileys. Now it's done.

If you're putting a photo or a link to somewhere in the net and want to name the link with a name of your own (so that we don't see the address but just the text you gave), the rules are the same as above BUT instead of clicking to "mona lisa" click on to "planet earth" tab second to it. What it does, it gives a command (url) address (/url) around it. The right kind of parenthesis' are actually [ ] signs and not the curved ones I used... And how to give a name of your own to link?
This way. Here is the correct address to some certain photo of Finnish owl species I want to give a name before linking to it:
http://www.ilkkajaakola.fi/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Lapinp%C3%B6ll%C3%B6.jpgOk. I'll paste it on here and add to start (url= then the pasted address) then a name like:
this owl is called 'lapinpollo' in Finnish, and the the closing url command which is (/url). Remeber to use [ ] signs instead of ( ).
So next here is the correct link (you can always quote on the posts and check the right kind of typing which is inside the links):
this owl is called 'lapinpollo' in FinnishNote: in this post there are also orange color commands in links you'll find when you quote this post. I used color commands, because for some reason I can see all of the links in white color in my computer at home, but in orange at my work.
