How can I post a photo to a live chat room?

[Ebony Johnson]

I would like to know how I can post pictures in a live chat room.

Not all chat rooms allow them (pix). I advise that you post ure pix on photo bucket (or another site) and provide them the link.

We all know that a Picture is worth a thousand words.

So how do you get the picture on the website to either explain what you are asking, try to explain how something is done or just to show off your handy work?

I acknowledge there is more than one way to accomplish this; the one I am going to explain is the one that works for me. If others use other methods they think work better feel free to post them here.

To Post a Picture you have on your computer.

The easiest way to post a picture from your computer is through a photo hosting web account that will generate an IMG code for you to paste in the text of your message.

There are many free sites out there that will do this for you, http://www.flickr.com/, http://www.use.com/, http://www.tinypic.com/, http://www.imagehosting.com/ and http://photobucket.com/ just to name a few. I am sure there are many more. Try them all and use the one that works best for you.

I have tried all of the above and my personal preference is photobucket. Again this is just a personal preference and I have no affiliation with any of the above sites.

Open an account (I am going to use photobucket); but before you upload your picture you must select the size you you want 640 X 480 seems to be a good general size for most uploads for web forums. Although the below photos are 800 X600. Next click on choose files, a box will appear for you to locate your picture. Simply click on the file you want to upload and the upload starts automatically.
