How can I upload photos to my blog? It seems as though you have to put in a URL...do I have to put the pics somewhere else on the internet first? I tried adding a pic from facebook, but it just shoes a red X instead of the pic. I tried the help for wordpress and am totally frustrated because it seems like you need to be a computer programmer to use this. Can anyone help?

OK, I found out what I need to do...by searching another diet blog website. It would be helpful if the information was easier to find on this site.

There should be a tutorial on posting pictures on every message board IMO. Many people do not know that they need to get their own picture hosting site and just copy someone else's pictures/graphics using that link. That is stealing another person's bandwidth! Not good.

I've been using Photobucket for years and recently, tinypic. There are other picture hosting sites out there too (Flickr, ImageShack, etc.). Most are free and allow a fair amount of bandwidth each month.

For most message boards, copy the BBcode and insert it in your siggy or post. BBcode has the img tags already. To insert a URL (beginning with http) use the Insert Image icon (the one that looks like it has a little mountain in it).

p.s. I've never linked my FB pix; I upload everything from Photobucket.
