Hi,

How do I find the URL for pictures and graphics that I want to upload and post to BN in my articles and blogs, please?

'My Pictures' doesn't have URLs and I don't know how to make them or find them.

I believe you can use photobucket to create a url for your pictures, if that is what you are looking for. You just save it to your desktop and upload it to photobucket and it will make you a URL. I think you can just copy and paste pictures into your articles on the BN site though.

the 'urls' are created after you've uploaded the photos/graphics. A url points to an address on the Internet, not on your computer.

website = www.yourdomain.com
folder within your website = www.yourdomain.com/images (this is where you upload the photo to)
url of photo = www.yourdomain.com/images/photo (this is the 'url' you would copy into your post)

If you don't have your own site, then you can upload photos to sites such as Flickr and they will provide you with a url. It will look similar to the one above, eg. flickr.com/yourusername/yourphoto

If you're talking about ones on your computer, upload them to Photobucket. Go to http://www.photobucket.com and create a free account - then just upload and find the URL created there.

If you are saving these pictures and grabbing them form the internet - then you can skip an entire stem and simply right click the picture - and copy the url. Once you do this you can simply paste the url there.

Here is an example, I grabbed this image off the internet by just copying the url

Nate, you might want to reconsider this option. A lot of images may well be copyrighted and also, by grabbing and using their direct url you are using their bandwidth. Not too sure that everyone will appreciate this. Also, if they decide to remove the image or change it, bang goes your image.
