1. Look at your keyboard. See the P? Look to the right from the p key. Those are called bracket keys.
2. This is an open bracket []. This is a closed bracket [/]. Notice the forward slash, meaning, to know the difference, look at the top of slash. Is it moving right or left? Right is forward, backslash is moving left. Now you use this as the closing bracket between the address.
3. I now need to tell the html what to do. IMG = image. So, if I want an image, I type img in both brackets. Typing URL is the address.
4. Say I download a photo to photobucket. I click on my photo, wait for it to popup.
5. Now, step 2 says, after it pops up, I right click the photo. I wait for the drill-down-window.
6. I look for, and choose with a left click, 'view image.' I click on view image, I wait for that photo to popup.
7. Now I look at my address bar at the top. See where the blue line is? Go down to the menu line where it says, File-Edit-ect. The 3rd line down is the address bar.
8. Highlight that address line. This is your photo address. At the end of the written address, you will see the letters, 'jpg.' That says it is a photo in html code.
9. Save that address by selecting the ctrl-c short cut when it turns blue. Keep clicking the address until it turns blue Stab ctrl first, then the c key. There are 3 ways to get it. This is one way.
10. Now that you have your saved photo address from bucket, open a quick reply, set the courser in the message box. Click ctrl i for italic. There is your open and closing brackets all ready to go. You have the i in them already. Just fill in the rest to read 'img.'
11. Set your courser in the middle of the brackets. Click ctrl then v. Your saved address should now be in the brackets with those codes written.
12. Click, 'go advanced' on the message to see if your photo landed all pretty looking?
So basically, an image should show if using the 'img' code. The address can be shown if you use 'url' for the code, bracket wise. This makes the address ready to select to see the photo all in its own browser.
Some troubleshooting problems; is if your brackets are not in between the address, meaning, do not make a space between the address like this: http:forward slash missing at the end or again, no gaps [/or no picture but the address] being all cold to the touch.
For example, there are code letters missing from the brackets. There is a gap between the full address caused by the brackets having a space somewhere.
