It can be done for every different photo hosting site like this then....................................................Photobucket is probably the easiest host to use to add photos to your posts, but they are also the most restrictive unless you have a pro account (which like flickr costs around £15/year and offers unlimited photo hosting). Once you have uploaded your photos to photobucket you need to follow these simple step for each photo you want to add to your post:[*] Click the 'IMG Code' box next to the photo you want to post, then paste the code shown into your post in the place where you want your photo to appear.[*] Repeat for each photo you want to add to your post.

Thank you one and all for your advice and ways around.It doesn't matter how the photos upload or where they are stored, but it should all be behind the scenes. Not all of us are techies.So a wonderful forum for the Loiners of this world, as Secret Leeds is, should be simple to use. Therefore a working upload for photos is essential. By all means keep the photos on a separate site, it has its advantages, but have a small jpg of the photo as a link button, next to the copy. I am now going for a lie down.

If you get your internet from BT Broadband you can get free Flickr Pro accounts. You will need to open a new Flickr account with a BTinternet.com email address to get a free Pro account. I think I read somewhere that you can then link a non pro account to the new Pro account to get a free Pro upgrade on it.
