Hmm...
Well, I'm no html guru- in fact, I don't really know ANY html- So how would I go about posting a picture here that I have on my HD?
Stupid question, I know...

simple answer. You can't. You have to upload it to a host and remotely link to it with an IMG tag. Get SmartFTP at http://smartftp.com and I'll tell you how to go about uploading stuff to the venosoft website since you're our new member.

It can be done using Internet Explorer, once you have acces to an FTP server you can just type this in the adres bar:

ftp://username:password@www.website.com/

IE will show you the files already on the server and you'll be able to just drag & drop your picture there. You'll have to make sure to put the file in a directory that is accesible for http acces, though.

I've been looking for a good, free, ftp utility for a while now. WSFTP is great, but only a demo. Thanks!

I have used WSFTP for years, but I recently tried smartftp and its pretty awesome too.

I'll try out this SmartFTP, as I guess it's better to use than IE :-). Normally I use CuteFTP Pro 2.
