.... I just have not mastered the art of uploading them to this site- Any help on his?
Santa
Step 1 - pick a suitable (free) online album site (Flickr, Worldisround, Picasa, etc.). Note that Flickr works slightly differently - I will annotate later.
Step 2 - using the help on the album site, upload as few or many pictures as you like.
Step 3 - (Assuming you have selected the one{s} to post here) Right-click your mouse on the picture and select "Copy image location" (or whatever variant your browser uses), then in your Plakias post, paste that information at the point where the picture should be. Place BBcode tags around the image location .... like this:
Text, blah blah blah
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/3335478170_b7e26e81d9.jpg[/img]
more text,blah blah blah
Which then gets presented like this:
Text, blah blah blah
more text,blah blah blah
**************
Flickr - You will have to work a bit harder with Flickr:
From the selected picture, select the "More sizes" option, above it.
Select the size you want (Thumbnail; Small; Medium; Large; Full Size).
Below the chosen size-image, there is an option:
"To link to this photo on other websites you can either:
1. Copy and paste this HTML into your webpage:
2. Grab the photo's URL:" - Use "2.", select and copy the URL directly.
This replaces the instruction {Right-click your mouse on the picture and select "Copy image location"} in Step 3, above.
