1. TinyPic - TinyPic offers easy image uploads with no need for a login. Just upload your image, and copy the link under "Direct Link for Layouts". The Website/Email setting is recommended. Back at igearlist, paste this link into the Photo URL field when you are posting or editing your post.
I just used TinyPic to upload this image. I chose the Website/Email setting:
2. ImageShack - ImageShack also offers free and easy uploads with no login required. Once you've uploaded your picture using the Webiste/Email setting, copy the link in the "Direct link to image" field.
Here is an image I just uploaded using ImageShack:
(Hi ladies!) Not bad, eh? This took me 2 seconds to do.
3. For any image that is being hosted on a website, you can find the photo's url or direct link by right-clicking on the image. In IE, click on "properties" and then copy the url next to "Address (URL)".
Unfortunately this third method won't work for every instance where a website is hosting an image. One great example of a site that doesn't generate direct image URL's is PicasaWeb.
TinyPic and ImageShack are great ways to generate an image URL for your igearlist post! Please always refer to the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy for any website service you visit and use.
Do you have an online photo album of the item you're selling? Not a bad idea - the more photos the better. You can include your online photo album in your post by putting the URL for your photo album in the Info Link field. (Just make sure it's a public album so folks can see it!)
