for those of you who'd appreciate some help in putting images in your description section.... (yes, that means you, josh)... here ya go:

ok, here's how ya do it:



1) upload whatever picture you want to use


2) once you've done that, find it on your "image history list" and right-click on it (click "change or upload a new pic" to see all of 'em)


3) choose "properties"


4) find where it says "address (URL):" and copy that line
for example, one of my brother's is:


http: // elftown. lysator. liu.se/img/photo/46402_1084921498. jpg


*but with no spaces*



5) you need to add an " < IMG : " to the front and "? >" to the end of that whole thing


*again, with no spaces* example:


< IMG: http: efltown. lysator.liu.se/img/photo/50581_1081219665.jpg ? >



6) if you want to change the size of it, add "x=(the width you want)y=(the hight you want)" to the end... for example, the "x=250&y=200" in the following:
[ < IMG: http: efltown. lysator.liu.se/img/photo/50581_1081219665.jpg? x=250&y=200 > ] *again, without the spaces*



7) put the whole thing wherever you want it in your description... it should show up with the picture when you're done!


Here's my bro's pic (I've been spelling "elftown" wrong and putting in spaces in the above examples so that the picture didn't show up every time I stuck it in there... hopefully that worked, otherwise I'll just message you again):
