Alright, well first of all, make sure your picture is saved in a folder that you'll be able to easily find.

Then, just go to tinypic.com or photobucket.com, whatever account you use or have. I suggest tinypic.com though, because you don't need to sign up and create an account with them, and they make the links smaller so they'll fit in the typing space.

Then just go browse for the picture you want to use, and let it upload. After it uploads, just copy the IMG URL it provides for you, and then go to your myspace.

Then you just go to your myspace picture and go to "create caption" or whatever is says, and then type in the space,"<*img*src=PICURLHERE*>" ( remove all *s and make them spaces, and don't paste the ""'s in there. And then instead of it saying "PICURLHERE", obviously, you enter the IMAGE URL you copied there instead.

Then, voila!

If I confused you, feel free to message me and I can try to explain it a little better.

I hope I helped.

Okay this can get complicated.
You need to go to www.photobucket.com

Sign up, upload your pictures.
Under each picture is three boxes with weird text.

The boxes are called "URL", "Tag" and "IMG"

Copy the text in "URL"

Use this code in your caption:


*img src= url text here*

Replace 'url text here' with the text you copied.
Make sure there is a space after the = sign.
And replace the first * with < and last * with >

Do not erase the pictures from your photobucket account or they wont show up on your space.

Note: Save images as a short name, not "meandmyfriends" but limit it to two letters. When you sign up with photobucket, also have the shortest username possible. This is because the caption only gives you so much space and you might not have enough room for the HTML. So your username and pictures should be under five characters.

If your still confused, myspace message me @ www.myspace.com/sherrygeorges

ahh. almighty html :D

first step first, upload the picture you would like to put in your caption. i recommend "www.tinypic.com" because they give you a tiny url that fits just perfectly in the caption box.

second, copy the url and in the caption box. type in

img src="URL HERE"

with < and > around it.

and that should be it! this should display the picture in your caption (:

note: the picture you put in your caption may have to be resized. or if you do not wish to resize it yourself, just resize it on the internet, plain and simple!

type in

img src="URL HERE" width="#px"

with < and > around it.

in the "#" place, type in a number, in pixels, to resize your picture. i usually recommend 256px. but whatever floats your boat :D

hope this helped!

in addition, you can pay a visit to "www.createblog.com" or "blogring.net" for further html help =]
