when I do it in photobucket the link is so long I can't queue up 2 images or maybe even more. Tried tiny url and that did not work.
I'm grateful for any help, especially if it includes how you did it explained to your average 2 year old.

I'll put the button back as soon as I know how to make it a short URL.
I simply copied the image info of the one you created and inserted it.
I thank you very much Electric Monk

paste the URL you have now in a post, and I'll re-host it on imgur and it'll be nice and short.

ipiccy.com

It's free. You can resize, crop, fix colors, make frames, make collages, add text.
Super simple to use. I am computer illiterate & I can figure it out. Just takes a little bit of time playing around on that site to see all the fun things it can do.
