1. Is this a joke?

3. No, I've never done it and don't know how.

6. We really need an FAQ!

2. Use photobucket.com

4. One of your own or one from the web?

If it's one of your own, you need to host it on a website like photobucket.com (it's free)

If you want to copy a picture - right mouse click, hit properties and then highlight and copy the URL address.

I normally hit preview first - not all internet pictures can be hotlinked.

7. As a quick addendum to JJ's post

If you're using photobucket (or indeed any other source), the U.R.L. should end .jpg or .gif for the picture to show by itself - photobucket gives three options the top one of which has the jpg extension.
