Okay, I would like to know how to put a picture in a post. I know the HTML command for an image, but in order for it to show (in my limited knowledge), it has to be uploaded to a publishing site. Apparently, there is a trick to getting them here–unless some of y’all know the secret upload site.
Share! How is it done?

Before I tell you how to do it, let’s make sure I know how. This is me at almost four years old:
<img src=“http://www.shsu.edu/~stdmed17/History01.JPG” alt=“Me”>
OK, here’s how I did it. I went to the picture that I wanted to post (which was on my webpage), right clicked, and selected “Copy Image Location”. Then I typed:
img src=“http://www.shsu.edu/~stdmed17/History01.JPG” alt=“cool”
The bolded part is what I got from the “Copy Image Location” step. (Also, don’t forget to put those arrow thingies in, or it won’t be read as HTML.)

Also, if you right click on any picture, then scroll down to properties, it display’s that picture’s address.
Right click also allows you to copy pictures from the internet to your clipboard.Then paste into another application, like Word etc.
I think LauraRae is asking about free image hosting services, such as The Photo Loft, where you can store images that can be accessed from other sites (like SDMB). Try it; it’s free and easy to use.

Enclose the code in angle-brackets, also known as greater-than/less-than signs, or shift-comma and shift-period.
Without the anglebrackets:

Oh, dear. That’s me and Brian, just so you know.
I need to practice and try placing an image myself…after work today.

Whoop, let’s fix that UBB coding in the sig line…
…and my grammar in the post. That’s Brian and I.

Don’t quote me on this, but I think you had it right the first time. Someone once taught me that if you’re confused, just get rid of the other person and see if it makes sense. Since you’d say “That’s me,” the correct usage is “me” and not “I”.
Of course, I could be wrong.
Nothing like a nitpicker who didn’t even SPEAK the language for the first 12 years of his life…
I think, grammar-wise, one should say, “It is I”. I remember an old joke by my English teacher:
Coldfire
“You know how complex women are”
Find me one person who will point at a picture of themselves and say “That’s I,” and I’ll give that one to you, Coldfire. 
Coldfire
“You know how complex women are”
“Me” is the objective case, “I” is the subjective case. If the word is the subject of the sentence, use “I”: “Brian and I look purty in that there pitcher.” If the word is the object (just about anytime it’s not the subject), use “me”. “It [subject] is [verb] me [object].” Similarly, “That’s me.” or “That’s Brian and me in that there purty pitcher.”
The problem is we kinda lose track of what case we’re using when the sentence gets even a little complicated. After all, we’re not really consciously thinking about rules of grammar – we’re just talking and if it sounds right we go with it. So nobody gets too alarmed if we say “That’s Brian and I” – using a simple noun phrase rather than a pronoun caused us to lose track. Notice the difference if you said “That’s I and Brian.” That one is much more noticeable just because the pronoun comes first.

Ok, I’ll be the first to say it.
You’re as purty as a sunset, LauraRae.
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
