Larry,

In order to post an image in this message forum, the image must be hosted by a web server somewhere (either your own personal web site or at some other web site somewhere). You then simply paste the full url to the image in the "Optional Image URL" field when you post a comment -- or you can embed the url in a HTML IMG tag in your post.

The image above (?) is hosted on some school's web site somewhere -- Napoleon Community Schools' web site, to be specific. The URL to the image file is http://scnc.ncs.k12.mi.us/hs/jvbball/images/spongebob.gif. (I just found it by doing a quick search for "spongebob.gif" in Google).

In order for you to post an image, you must first upload the image to a "public" web server (aka "web site"). Most ISPs offer their subscribers their own web sites. If you have web server space thusly available to you, you can upload your images there and post the URLs to your images as I've described above. If not, you might have a friend (or several friends) who are able and willing to host your images for you.

HTH,
