Part 3: uploading images to the site for display.
This option is useful when you have an image stored on your computer or phone, but it doesn't exist anywhere on the public Internet yet.
Step 1: Type your post, and then when you're at the place where you want the image, click the "Uploads" link:
A "File Manager" dialog will open. Click "Browse":
Your operating system will show its default dialog for picking a file. After you pick it, its name will show up in the "File Manager" dialog. Click "Upload" to send it on up to the site server:
There will be a brief pause while the file uploads. The "File Manager" window will show a message while this happens. Once this is complete, you'll need to scroll down in the "File Manager" window until you see images. The one you just uploaded will be at the top. It will have a little icon in its bottom right corner that you will need to click:
Clicking that icon will insert the image into your post at the place where you left your cursor when you clicked "Uploads" in the post editor. If you close out the "File Manager" dialog (use the X icon at the top right corner- you don't want to just leave it open and switch windows), you'll see the automatically-generated code that makes the image show up:
Just finish up your post and press "Submit" and you'll be all set.
