If I take an picture of something with a digital camera and save the image as a jpeg file, how can I link to it in one of my posts? Do I have to put the file up on a webpage somewhere? Does that mean I’ll have to go thorough the hassle of looking for someplace that offers free webspace and sign-up? Or is there some way to get around that? Thanks, Bib ---

Yes, it needs to be on a web server so you can link to it. You can’t post pix on the board itself. ---

Damn. Anyone know where I can get some free webspace where I can upload pics? ---

Ah, thank you, sir. Whose bright idea was it to put the “.” and the “/” so close together, anyway? ---

ARGH! Looks like Boomspeed have disabled new user sign-ups due to “overwhelming popularity and mis-use of free accounts” Any other sites I could use? ---

A quickie Google search found [Village Photos](http://www.villagephotos.com/index.asp). I’ve never used them, but it looks as though it should meet your needs. ---
