In order to end it, you have to add another bracket. Like I did above. Now it's time to show you how to add the picture.

That's how you start a picture code. Now you may be wondering how you host a picture onto the internet. Well I know a few sites. Like [url=http://www.photobucket.com]PhotoBucket[/url] and [url=http://www.imageshack.us]ImageShack[/url]. For imageshack, use the very bottom code, the "Direct Link". For PhotoBucket, use the one that looks just like an internet address. I suggest not using PhotoBucket though, because if the file is to big, it will shrink it. now to show you what to do with the URL for the image.

Make sure to end the code with the /img or else it'll continue on, and you'll just get that nasty red x. Now to add two and two together.

Make sure to add the /url , or everything after it, will end up as a link. And this is what you should get:
