Including pictures in posts

One or two members have been asking about including pictures in your posts
so I thought it might be worthwhile trying to explain how it's done.

If you have a hotmail account or some other similar kind of picture album online
you can upload your images there. Before doing so, you can use software
like this to resize images to 640x480 for example, otherwise they might be too big

Once you have uploaded the image, click on it until it looks like this

You then copy the link to the image in your post using the [img] picture url [/img ] tags
or by clicking on the 'image' icon and pasting the url like so.


Otherwise you can send me a copy of the image and I will include it for you.
