Part 1:

For starters, you need to find a place that will host your image/picture. You must use a hosting site for this. There are a few decent places that do it for free like.....

www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.us

I chose to use Photobucket for this as I found it easier to use for demonstration purposes, and because it's easier to access from anywhere.

To start, you need to create an account if you dont already have a hosting site account. To do this....go to www.photobucket.com Once there, you will need to register for an account. This takes a few seconds and you fill out a little information.

Once this is done, you should then login and you will get this screen...

The first box, says URL next to it. Highlight this text and copy it....we'll then be able to move on to the next step which is actually getting it to appear in your forum posts.
