One of the questions I've seen constantly since I joined this site is "How do I put images in my post?"
I've seen people attach images, put links to the uploaded image elsewhere, all sorts.
I figured that to easily put an end to this misunderstanding or confusion by making this quick and simple guide to show people what they can do to upload and embed an image to their post.
Step 1. Upload your chosen image to an image hosting site such as tinypic or imgur (for this guide I will be using imgur)
On imgur you can simply drag the image from your computer onto the site and it will upload it.
Once the image is uploaded, click on it so you get it in its full resolution.
Step 2. Now copy the url of the uploaded image in its full resolution (this is the easiest step) For those that do not know, the url is the web address.
Step 3. When posting the post you want the image to be in, while in the posting area, click the little picture icon above the writing area.
This is where you paste the link of the image you just uploaded, so do just that, if you want to add a little text that will appear when someone hovers their mouse over the image, you can write it in the little box below.
Then all you need to do is click insert image, and a little line of code will appear in your post box, this is your uploaded image!
If you want to make sure that the whole process has worked, click the preview box at the bottom of the posting area, and you will see the image in all its glory, here you can resize it how you wish.
And its just that easy, hope this helps people, and solves any confusion some have had. (You can also change the orientation of the image by going back into the code and clicking one of the little icons that change what side text is on, if you want it to be in the center or elsewhere)
