Testing picture posting.
I have started my trip report but would like to add pictures along with it.

<table><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/OE ... site"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_lQNB-86Ha64/SnXPo ... r><td>From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/c3p1beaches ... ebsite">St Thomas Day 1</a></td></tr></table>

OK, so it looks like it will work, but has some trailing data---anyone know how to get rid of that?

looks like Picasa. JMQ posted instructions over on the OT board in the food porn thread the other day. Here you go:

With Picasa, with the photo you want from your web album open:
> click on “link to this photo” on the right hand side
> then select size, then click to check “hide album link”
> then click on the code in the “embed image” box to highlight it, then RIGHT click to have the “copy” option drop down. Click copy.
Then go to the post you are composing, hit the “Ctrl” and the “v” keys to paste into your post. Done.
No need to use the forum “img” code with this. Check in preview that the photo is there before you hit “submit”.

Sounds more complicated than it is, but it is pretty quick, as is doing the original upload to your web album from Picasa with one or 2 clicks after you crop or edit.
