How to Post Images on Internet Message Boards


Locate the image on the computer hard drive that is to be posted.
Host the image that is to be posted. There are many image hosting services on the Internet (see resources) that can accomplish this task. Follow the steps on the hosting site that was chosen and upload the image.
Obtain the source address for the image. Once the image is hosted it now has a source address. The source address is the images location on the host server. A source address appears similar to an Internet site address with one exception there is no www in the source address.
Insert the source address inside image markup tags. Markup tags are what enable the blogs and message boards to differentiate the image from regular typed text. An example of these tags is between the following quotation marks '
.' Be sure to eliminate the spaces between '

How to Build a Website Once You Have a Domain Name


Access a web provider such as JustHost.com, 1and1.com or FatCow.com and review the hosting plans to see which one fits your needs best. You also can review a comprehensive web hosting comparison page such as Top-10-Web-Hosting.com (see Resources). A web host provider offers website-building tools along with space for your website files so that the files can be published on the Internet. Typically, you can purchase options that charge as little as a few dollars a month, or opt to pay a flat fee on a yearly basis.
Purchase a plan with your chosen provider and register your domain name. If you already have procured a domain through another site, such as register.com, you can simply enter this name during sign-up so that your host can assign this to your account. Otherwise, you can register the name during the purchase process by following the domain name registration prompts provided.
Log in to your web host account and locate a section such as 'site builder' to survey the tools that are available to help you build your website. Typically, these mechanisms are composed of menus and buttons that allow you to type in your web page content, format your data and insert features such as fill-in forms. Additionally, you can grab digital images from your computer and insert them into your web pages by using the tool's 'image upload' feature. Explore the interface and create the pages to build your website. Many hosts also offer ready-made web pages (templates) that you can simply edit as preferred. If you need help finding these features, access your web host's 'Help' page.
Use your host's 'Preview' feature to see how your website looks before you publish it. If satisfied, save your files by using the 'Save' link or button provided.
Transfer your web files to the directory that houses and publishes your website on the Internet. Look for a 'File Manager,' double click on it and go to a file typically labeled 'Public FTP.' Double click this folder and use the provided links and/or buttons to select your web files and upload them to this folder. When finished, simply type your domain address in a web browser to see your active (live) website.
