A basic tutorial for posting
our images to Social Networks.
When an image is posted on to a web page, that image is hosted. Usually, that means getting an account with a third party, uploading your images
and then using their code.
You are welcome to that, but you don't need to.
I have tried to simplify things for you.
We will act as host, so that all you need is right here.
Depending on which Social Network or forum you use, either a small code or just the URL, (address of the image) is all you need.
Most of the largest networks, (Google+, FaceBook, Twitter) simply need the image URL (the address or location of an image).
MySpace uses an html code with the URL.
Example:
<img src="URL">
Facebook, Twitter and Google+ just need the URL.
Explained below is how you get the URL for the image you want, depending on your browser.
URL only

<img src="URL">
Example: Finding the
URL for this image:
1. Right click the image you want to post.
2. Select copy image location.
3. Go to where you want to post it and click in the field once with your index finger.
4. Right click and select paste.
5. Hit "enter" on your keyboard, or share, etc. to post.

URL:

2. At the bottom of the new window, select properties.
3. In the center of that new window it says address (URL), copy it. (it starts with http and ends with .gif or .png or .jpg)
4. Go to where you want to post it and click in the field once with your index finger.
5. Right click and select paste.
6. Hit "enter" on your keyboard, or share, etc. to post.
1. Right click the image you want to post.
2. Select copy image URL.
3. Go to where you want to post it and click in the field once with your index finger.
4. Right click and select paste.
5. Hit "enter" on your keyboard, or share, etc. to post.
NOTE: If you are posting to MySpace, you
will need to enter the URL you have copied into this code:
<img src="URL">
Replacing the letters URL , leaving the quotes with no spaces before
or after the quotes, with the actual URL you have copied:
Still have questions?
Always happy to help you.

One Last Code: Most forums now use just the URL to post an image, but some use the IMG tag. That is done like this:
[IMG]URL[/IMG]
<img src="http://peaceartsite.com/images/gathering_peace.png">
