The photo gallery is a free online album that you can share with your friends and family. We'd love to see your vacation photos.

Go to the gallery - http://www.sowal.com/bb/gallery, click on the "upload" link at the top, and upload photos one at a time. Your first uploaded photo will create an album under your username.

You'll see a box with code in it which you can copy and paste into any thread to post that pic.

You can hotlink an image after uploading it to the SoWal gallery, your profile album, or one of the many other free photo hosting sites on the net like:
http://imageshack.us or http://photobucket.com

Hotlinking is easy. When you are creating a new message in the edit message box, one of the icons along the top is the "insert image" button - - click it and a box comes up where you enter the URL of your image, ie - http://websitename.com/imagename.jpg

Just make sure the image is not too wide - say 600-800 pixels or less.
