You can upload a picture from your PC to a photo hosting site such as PhotoBucket, which is what I use. They've changed the appearance and usage of their site recently, and not everyone likes it. After you have uploaded a picture, you can click on it and select one of several options. Choose 'Direct link', and it will copy the address of your pic to your clipboard. Then just paste it into your post here or elsewhere.
