Replace the example URL with the URL of your images hosted on a site such as Photobucket, Flikr, etc.

Laura~ I use photobucket and you go to the picture and scroll down to HTML code and right click, then hit copy. Come back to your message and right click, then hit paste. The code should come up and when you preview your message, it should be there. Good luck!!

This has been a good example of low-light morphing some plants into virtually unrecognizable condition. Rupert, if interested, your pic would be a great addition to this discussion.

Not that you won't get good advice here, but there is a Fruit and Orchards forum where some very knowledgable folks who specialize in fruit tree issues hang out. Here is a link that might be useful: C'mon...let's visit the Fruit Tree Forum.

That is because Flicker is down right now for maintenance and will be for several hours at least.

Here is the FAQ on how to post photos.

I don't own a camera and don't understand how pictures are posted here, but I do understand the "Optional Link URL" and "Name of the Link" boxes.

"Optional Link URL" -- This is where you post the web address of what you're linking to. It's "optional" because most posts don't contain any links. Links to web sites must begin with the http:// -- and won't work if that's missing.

"Name of the Link" -- this is how the link shows up on the page. For instance, in Dave's post above the link is named "How to post photos FAQ." He could have simply pasted the same thing (the page address) in both boxes, as I've done below (or he could have named the link "Fred"). This box cannot be empty, or your link won't show up at all (IIRC, you'll get an error message in Preview).

So the first link tells the software where the link should go, and the second link is how the link appears on the page.

I have no idea if photos can be posted using those two boxes -- but I do know that photos can be posted without using the boxes. Links can also be posted without using the boxes (but the only time I tried, it didn't work).
