You have to upload the image to an online media host and then link to it from there.

I use ImageShack. Once you upload images, just copy the "Forum" link under "Embed this image" into your forum post.

Done!

Hope this helps.

I use picasa, since it's a google service and you can use it easily from your phone.

Which picasa app do you use? When I type "picasa" into the app market, a number of different apps come up.

You don't need an app.

Uploading to Picasa on Android
On Android phones, you can easily upload photos to Picasa Web Albums. Follow these steps:

1. Take a screenshot using one of the various screenshot apps on the market.
2. Select the screenshot in your gallery. Mine show up in a folder aptly named "screenshots".
3. From the menu, select Share > Picasa. Sign into your Google Account for Picasa Web Albums if necessary.
4. Enter a caption and/or album for the picture and select Upload.

Thanks for your help. I am going to try it out now. Not that my screen is anything special like yours lol. I just like it and want to post, just to figure out how to do it.

 

[Zonker1]

Lets see if this works...

Nope

 

[chicknlil]

Is it showing up on your Picasa web album?

 

[Zonker1]

Yes it is.

Dang this is frustrating.

 

[Lamps]

Here's what I'm using at the moment. Not sure if I'm done changing everything yet

 

[chicknlil]

Yes it is.

Dang this is frustrating.

Click on the album/photo until you've got just the photo on your screen. On the right side there should be an option to "link to this photo" ...I usually check the box that says image only, and select the medium 640 size.

In the box where it says "embed image" copy all that text. Come back here, and use the following (remove the extra spaces)

[ img ] http:// path to image . com / image name . jpg [ / img ]

Hope this gets you the rest of the way there

I made a video using the Shoot Me app of my home screens. I think it turned out pretty well.

My main screens from the past week, my current one is my Canada screen...

 

[SuFuCru]

These are my new homescreens for the time being. I wanted something very Droid-like.

I'm using ADW Launcher EX with Minimalist theme, York's ADW Black dockbar, BBT red theme icons, Text icon creator for ADW, Droid-Life wallpaper, Sense analog small glass widget, Droid-eye clock, Minimalistic text for the battery stat.

What app did you use for the battery icon in the notification bar? And did you need to root for any of those things?

It's called Battery Status Bar and is free. As far as needing to be rooted, even though I am, it's not needed for any of the stuff I did.
