No link.
See my reply in that other thread for further instructions.
Don't fret; this computah stuff can be frustrating.
Thanks. I tried it again, so I hope it comes through. I copied and pasted.
Off to bed. Frustrated. LOL
When you wake up, post a photo at tinypic.com. Post that link here, after you wake up.
I want to see what you got :-/
This is a text only list. You can upload the pic to a free hosting site, and then post the URL.

Trying to post directly to Usenet will not work for you.
Your news provider--Eternal September--will not do "binary", which is what pictures are. Eternal September will only do "text" (letters and numbers).
As others have pointed out, you need to sign up with one of those free photo-hosting sites, then include the link to that site here.
Try here:
The link you eventually post to Usenet will look something like this:
While that's true, it's only half the story. The other half is that this is a text-only group, so it doesn't matter *what* news provider you're using.
Excellent reply. Now we wait for Kate, and wish her luck.

That's not true for all providers.
Some providers don't care if the group is meant for text only; if your /account/ allows binary, you'll be able to post pictures to any group you like. It's under those circumstances that you'll see annoyed replies from people telling a miscreant not to post binaries to a text-only group.
It's pretty foolish to post binaries to a text only group, because MOST newservers will strip them out, and usually the post itself will not be propagated. In other words, post a picture here, and almost no one will see it or your post. Self defeating.
