You just hit the attach option towards the bottom of your editing box and click browse. Find the picture u want and click it. Then hut add attachment and after u add it you can hit the insert into post option. hoped that helped. Or you can go to tinypic.com and upload pictures onto that site and use the direct link they proved with the picture after its uploaded to insert it into the post. U do that by
Sorry I posted the earlier post too early and didn't finish it. Anyways u can click that mountain and sun looking icon that is right under the the big A that let's you change the text color and u can copy and paste that direct link into that space and hit enter and it will put the image in the post. It won't show up as the image , u can hit preview and see the actual picture I hoped that helped

Winters mean that they have to all come in the house, which takes a little extra work, but our summers are fantastic for them. It is not cold here year round like a lot of people think. Mine spend 6-7 months of the year outside, in temps ranging from mid 70's to low 90's, and occasionally 100 or more. It is very humid here too, as there is a lot of water.

But here's a few shots of Bob that I came across while I was going thru the thousands of pictures I have taken of him. I won't admit to being obsessive when it comes to Bob, but I will confess to liking him a whole lot. A few weeks ago we weighed him at his Vet's and he weighed 102 pounds. He was 13 years old this year. He is a very different tortoise with a very big personality and he used to get into a lot of trouble. But he has settled down recently...well, except maybe for the flood he just caused in his shed...
Watermelon is his favorite treat, unless maybe it's strawberries, or squash or maybe...
Look at this, he's in heaven...
He's basking and napping against the fence...
This was his first pool. He destroyed it in one day...he loves soaking on a warm day...
Well, I hope you have enjoyed these pictures of Bob. I love taking pictures of him and I love showing them to people. I think Bob is a whole lot of fun. He has enriched my life and I can only hope that your small tortoise will grow up to be as much fun as Bob is. In fact, Bob has entertained many TFO members and I know most have enjoyed reading about his many adventures...
I forgot to mention that Bob lives in a heated insulated 12' X 20' shed at the back of my property. He sleeps in a sleeping box with a pig blanket inside it. There's an oil-filled radiator type heater that keeps the ambient temperature up on those cold Oregon nights when it is below freezing and snowing...
