    This function died somehow as we moved to our new server. We're working on it now, and hope to have it resolved quickly.

    Just about the comment box that you type in, you should see a batch of smiley faces. Just above the faces, you should some other icons. Just click the one that looks like a camera; this should open a tiny window that says "type or paste the image URL."

    Insert the URL of the image you're trying to share, and voila!

    To find the URL of the image you want to use, you can click the right mouse button on the photo and select "copy photo location", then paste the address into the photo window as described above.

    Sorry it took me a bit to reply, Ron. The operation isn't as tricky as it sounds, but can be intimidating until you get used to it. (I'm assuming the photo you want to share is on the internet somewhere and not on your computer's hard drive.)

    If you're using a mouse with two buttons, use the button on the right to click the photo you want to post.

    Among the options that pop up will be something along the lines of "copy image location". Select that option.

    Now, paste that information into the window that pops up when you click the camera icon here.
    (it looks like this-)

    That should do it!

    *However...if the photo you're trying to share is on your computer, you'll need to host it somewhere on the internet. Personally, I use a service called Photobucket, but there are others that are also free and work well.

    Send me an email by clicking my name if you're still having trouble. We'll have you posting pictures yet!
