Oops, right, your image has to be on a website so it will
have an address (URL) you can paste into your PigPen poem,
reply, etc.
Facebook doesn't work on PigPen for me (maybe it does for someone else?)
Longer Comment:
A simple-to-use one that works is called "tinypic.com".
------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions:
1. Go to their site, click the "Browse" button and use
the window that appears to find and select a .jpg file
from your computer.
2. Click the "Resize" pulldown and select 640x480 or
any of the other sizes. (This DOES NOT affect the one
on your computer, only the one on the website.)
3. Click "UPLOAD".
4. The screen that appears will have a section that's titled
"Grab Your Code". Look for the yellow box that's titled
"IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards". It will look like
this (except the "x57dhc" part will be different):
Code:
[IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/x57dhc.jpg[/IMG]5. Copy it and paste it into the edit box of any PigPen reply,
new post, etc. and your photo should appear when you click
"Preview Post" or "Post Reply".

P.S. And yes, tinypic.com has private folders and all that
stuff if you sign up (it's still free). There are quite a
few other sites that do the above and better; I chose
tinypic because it was the simplest.
P.P.S. Would love to see your new watercolor.
