how do you put pictures in a post?

I know this isn't a knife related question...but I was trying to post my first knives/WIP the other night..and due to being computer illiterate or something I could not for the life of me figure out how to post a picture...

The first two instructions will get you up and running. The next two are in more detail for more complex situations.

1. Paid members can upload from their computers, but anyone can open a photo hosting account.
I use www.photobucket.com . Download your pictures and they give you a URL for each picture.
Use the fourth URL, with the tags already in place. Copy & Paste that in your post here.

2. Another way: go to [url]http://www.imgur.com[/url] and upload your image.
After uploading, select the BBCode option - it starts with [IMG]. Copy & Paste to your thread.

3. You should also [URL="http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/353471-READ-THIS-FIRST!-How-to-ask-questions-that-get-answered"]READ THIS FIRST! How to ask questions that get answered[/URL] which includes photo posting instructions.

It should probably look more like this, but still dosen't seem to show up.
Perhaps because drop box needs a passsword and login.

Photobucket works.

I have been impressed by photos that are done with Dropbox urls that's why all the urgency. Success just needed to move the file into the public folder.
