You have to upload them to a webserver and then link to them in your post (they have to be "visible" to the web). If you have a personal webspace or website through your ISP, you could upload them there. You usually need a file transfer program to upload the files - AceFTP is a very serviceable and free FTP client but there are lots of others; your ISP may already have a file transfer program bundled with their software.

Good luck,

Get an account on geocities.com.  Then download your photos, and keep track of the http address that corresponds with each picture.  It should be something like this:

http://www.geocities.com/your site's name/ the name of your picture

Then click the picture box in your compose area, and paste that address in there.

I was thinking geocities didn't allow direct linking of photos. I thought one of those placeholders came up when you did that.

Yeah. Don't use Geocities. You should be able to make an account at www.photobucket.com You can upload your pictures there, and once they have uploaded it will show you the HTML you need to post the pictures other places. You just copy and paste it and VOILA. Your journal is photographically equipped.

I use geocities, and post all sorts of photos.

The only caveat is to just make sure that you don't exceed your transfer capacity.

I though that with Geocities, if you post a picture somewhere and too many people load it from your page/view it.. it shuts off because of the capacity thing. Or is that just if you link something?

Sure, one can exceed bandwidth on a geocities account. It isn't likely to happen with pictures posted on this site (unless all of a sudden it gets thousands of readers per day.)

The important thing is to compress pictures before downloading them (saving bandwidth as well as the sanity of our friends with dialup.)
