Article: . There are many free image hosting services, such as Picasa Web Albums, Imgur, Flickr, or Photobucket. Read the terms carefully. Some services will reduce your image quality, or take down your image if too many people view it (since this uses up the host's bandwidth).  Some blog-hosting services let you upload images using the blog administrator tools. If you have a paid web host, upload the image to your own site using an FTP service. Creating an "images" directory is recommended to keep your files organized.  If you want to use an image on another website, ask the creator for permission. If she grants it, download the image, then upload the image to an image hosting site. Open the HTML document for the web page where the image will be displayed. If you are trying to insert an image on a forum, you can type directly in the post. Many forums use a custom system instead of HTML. Ask for help from other forum-goers if this doesn't work. Find the point in your HTML body where you'd like to insert an image. Write the tag <img> here. This is an empty tag, meaning it stands alone, with no closing tag. Everything you need to display your image will go inside the two angle brackets. <img> Visit the web page where your image is hosted. Right-click the image (control-click on Mac) and select "Copy Image Location." You can also click "View Image" to see the image alone on a page, then copy the URL in your address bar. If you uploaded the image to an images directory in your own website, link to it with /images/yourfilenamehere. If this doesn't work, the images directory is probably inside another folder. Move it up to the root directory. As you may already know, HTML attributes go inside a tag to modify it. The src attribute is short for "source," and tells the browser where to look to find the image. Write src=" " and paste the image URL in between the quotation marks. Here's an example: <img src="http://www.exampleimagehost.com/my-cute-dog.jpg"> Technically your HTML has everything it needs to display the image, but it's best to add an alt attribute as well. This tells the browser what text to display when the image fails to load. More importantly, this helps search engines figure out what your image is about, and lets screen readers describe the image to visually impaired visitors. Follow this example, changing the text inside the quotation marks:  <img src="http://www.exampleimagehost.com/my-cute-dog.jpg" alt="my dog eating a tangerine"> If the image is not important to the page content, include the alt attribute with no text (alt=""). Save the HTML file to your website. Visit the page you just edited, or refresh the page if you already had it open. You should now see your image. If it's the wrong size or you're unhappy with it for another reason, continue to the next section.
