You don't need photobucket if your image is already online, you just need to click on the image so it is the only thing on the screen. With mine I had to right click on it and open it in a new tab and then I just used the web address it gave meType < img src="paste the web address here"/ > (no spaces between the < and the > though
That was dead easy!! Thanks :)
On google images you just need to click view image to get the web address for doing it
Now you're just showing off, Jud :~)Photobucket is handy for storing images you might want to use again, like book covers, or almonds. But really it's just a way of getting your own images online.
Nice one!Thanks, both.
Could I have a nice frosty beer, please?
No, I don't want an image error, thanks.
It seems not all images are equal
Or you suck at posting pics.
I'll stick to my tried and tested method in future. I get less hassle that way ;~P
You're just asking for more hassle now.

I might try this when I get home, but I'm thinking upload a picture to my blogger.com but then change the setting for html rather than direct text entry, that will give me the picture code in html and I can just copy & paste it to here and see if that works?
MmmmmmbeermmmmmNice bird there, Rosen!
Oh yes, meant to say you look fantastic, Jud!
I might even post the picture of me dressed as a nurse for a reading

OK... 
Nor can I. Not that way.
I'll try and post one using the photobucket thing... if they get round to reminding me what my pass word is anytime soon. Firefox is supposed to remember them but has unilaterally decided to stop.
You are leaving the spaces after the < and before the > you need to take those out Mary, also there shouldn't be a space between src= and " oh and you need to put the / at the end before > so "/> (no spaces between)

Cut and parse? You want to check on the grammar??
Note - there's always somebody checking on the grammar! ;)
Yep. The stocks are always at the ready.We need a picture of the stocks, please.
I only have pics of my bookcovers on photobucket, so sorry if it looks like spam. Had to try it out lol.
A picture paints a thousand words, great new idea for a thousand word new Paris travel book, Eiffel tower jpeg, damn won't upload, never mind then ....

All I learnt is that I am still as technologically challenged as I thought. It's all Greek to me. My GR life will have to be one without photos. Sigh.
Open a photobucket account (free for basic membership) http://s72.photobucket.com/
Upload a picture from hard-drive to photobucket.
In photobucket, open the picture you wish to post. To the right of the picture are four options for you to copy, under the heading 'links to share this photo'. You'll need the HTML one to post on here.
Copy the HTML. Post it in the message box as it is. Hey presto! Your picture appears.
