This is part 2 of Including a picture in your comment. You will need to understand how to link photos from the web, so you should do that now before starting here. (Click on the link above.)
As I mentioned there, an image needs to have a URL address in order to be linked into a comment. Images that you have stored on your computer don’t have those URLs, so you have to upload them to one of the many “bucket” sites that exist. (When you download something you take it from the Internet and put it on your computer. When you upload, you take it from your computer and put it on the Net.)
Here is a list from Wikipedia, but there are others as well. Most of the webmail sites and browsers have their own, and you can always ask an adolescent son-daughter-niece-nephew-next door neighbor for the name of one.
You will find many images already available for use on these sites, and there are emoticons, and cartoons, and other funny things that you can post. Be prepared, there are some “rude” images as well.
In summary: 1) you have to chose a photo sharing site 2) and you have to enroll as a member. 3) Now you have “upload” your photograph to the site.
There will be instructions on the site itself, but generally there is a big button that says “upload from your computer” or something similar. The difficult part is finding where the computer hides the images. What I usually do is make a copy of the photo that I want and put it in a folder that I have on my desktop so I can find it easily.
4) Your photo sharing site takes your image and creates a URL for it. You can copy this URL and follow the instructions for "Including a picture in your comment" (the link above), as it is now exactly the same thing.
