Hi Elyas,

Just go to the "upload" button in the upper left, click it and follow the instructions.

You have to size the picture according to the limits (max 200K and max 550 pixels wide). I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager for this.

Then you sign in and use "browse" to find the picture on your drive.

If you are sucessful you will wind up with a link you can copy and paste into your post, and when you submit (or preview) the post you will see the picture inserted.

If not you will get an explanation of format problems. (Back to the old drawing board!)

Once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty easy!

Persistence pays: I had trouble with it at first too but it's really not that bad!
