I'm about to go to Best Buy and rent a "Geek" for $49.00 an hour to show me how to include pictures in my posts.  I have been trying for a week to figure this out, along with the Icon mystery.  There must be a level of basic computer knowledge that only I cannot master.  I have read all of the "helps" where other poor souls have attained enlightenment but I cannot seem to duplicate their success.  Every time I think I am on the right track something that is apparently simple shuts me down.  For instance, "type in the URL of the photo location," sounds simple unless you don't know what a URL is or where to find it.  When I leave the forum to go look for it I am washed up the creek to the next problem and before long I am defeated again.  I have managed to get a photobucket account and actually resize the photo I wanted to use but now it is stuck right where it lives and I can't go and get it.  All my friends say it is easy, just cut this and paste that or drag this over to there or right click it and then I tell them I have windows 8 and the help evaporates.  I'll be back after the "Geek" leaves and post what I find out so maybe some other member doesn't have to enjoy all of this fun.  Thanks

So far with my time in windows 8 you want to work from the desktop icon, that seems to bring you to a windows 7 and earlier style of menus and windows. Once you get to the "desktop" the how to's listed in the help forum should work.
