Posting Message with Embedded Photo?

I am new to the forum, followed the instructions to post a photo with my message, but did not get a prompt to add a photo at the preview step unless I first went to the Gallery rather than the Discussion section. How to post a message (as I see many do) with a photo after or within the text? Thanks.

You can copy the HTML url from say Photobucket and paste it into your post here. I do it all the time.

Hi Dave,
I use Photobucket also but I like to use the HTML Thumb code. Once you set up a Photobucket account go to account options then album settings and finally click on link options. In link options check the box for Clickable Thumbnail and save. Now when you download a picture to your Photobucket album you will see an option for HTML Thumb. Copy this code and paste it in the message box and you will get a picture like this.

Something else I do in account options is to make my album private so people can only view the pictures I post.

Lourdes...yes it is. This is the smaller 6x6. The new one is just a little bigger 8x8 but almost twice the square footage (64 square feet vs 36 square feet). That should give me lots more room for shelves and a little more floor space for the seedlings that don't get cut back! K

Go with Photobucket as Kate suggested. I am sooooo easily frustrated with computers and now that I'm dealing w/Photobucket, no more stress. I downloaded my photos right off the memory card into "My Pictures" and once they were saved on my computer, I then was able to download right into Photobucket, one at a time. Very, very easy. Photobucket will then give you (I think 4 different options) as to how you want to copy and paste them into different sites. Like Kate said, click on HTML, it will highlight and tell you "copied" and then paste it right into your GW post. Once you're done, click "Preview" and your photos will magically appear. I was so thrilled! Good luck! Sue.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Fun to share with those who understand this obsession. Oh Jean, I do understand that one! Leslie, Jude was planted bareroot in Feb, so it's not much over 3' yet. A new cane just broke from the graft though, so I think it's in for another growth spurt. I will include a full view in the future.
