* This information is to help you post any image you find on the Internet and is sometimes referred to as "hot linking". You are not actually saving or storing the image, you are displaying the image by direct linking to it. This is not the method you would use for photos stored in such places as Photobucket, Flickr or EONS. Those sites as well as other storage sites offer you the code to copy and paste for display of the images.
