Posting photos

How do you do it?
I know someone has already asked and been told but I can't find it - sorry.

I have a flickr account and tried to do what I used to do on MES (the only reason I opened the flickr account!) and it doesn't work.
If I do copy image there's then no way to paste here.
If I do copy image location then paste I just get a link.

Is there any way to do it from flickr so the picture is in here? I really don't want to have to open yet another account for something new just for this

Or is it possible to copy pictures from facebook?

What I do is go to 'share' than down to 'grab the html/bbcode' and copy the text below that, making sure BBCode is selected, then paste that into the main part of my post, rather than actually inserting a link.

I do it by pressing a button above when I go to post. It looks like a picture with a floppy disc. Then you pick the picture and press host it. Get the code out the middle box, press the picture with the floppy disc again and paste into the box you normally type and when you post the picture should be in the post.

Oh cool - a bit slower but without flickr so one less step in the middle!

I right click on my photo (usually from my blog or direct from photobucket) and go down to 'properties' and highlight and copy the 'address' come back here and click on the 'image' icon (16th from the left) and paste the address in the box that pops up.

I don't have a blog or photobucket - I am a luddite and all this new technology is doing my head in - I really do feel like the ancient relative that can't work the video recorder;)
