Upload to such as :-
http://imagehost.darkernet.co.uk/index.php
100k max size
When complete they give you the address for your picture, copy 'control c' the selected text and paste 'control V' into your post, between the open and close image tags :- [ img]the address of picture [/img ] NB. No gaps before or after [ or ] and the word image I left a gap for illustrative purposes. When you know how, see what happens with a gap using preview.

Unless you can point to the image on your own web site, you have to upload to a host site. Then paste the address between the 'Img' tags in your post....

Placing the address between image tags

Like this below, but without the capital x at either end
