You'll have to link to it. (IMG SRC="link goes here")

Brent, the image basically has to reside somewhere on a website on the internet...no cutting and pasting images in HTML. What you do is write the HTML code that points to the source of the image, and then it is "imported", if you will, to the current "link" location. The poster before me gives you the basic source code rough draft...If you find a thread with an image in it, right click with your mouse in that page somewhere, and then click "view source", which will take you behind the scene, so to speak, to the HTML behind the webpage. You can then scroll down to where the code for the image link is, and see how they did it.

You DON'T post graphics here Brent......unless you can give us something slightly less macabre than the tone of most of your posts.....

You may have read something like this before.....whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is wholesome, whatever is good.........think on THESE things.

If you picture encompasses those things, then I'll post it for you!
