To post a picture in chat is very simple. However, the picture must be on the web somewhere. The HTML code has the form:

<img src=URL>

Where URL the the web address of the picture. For example, the logo picture to this chat room is at the addy http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/ccbanner.gif So you would post the following to get the picture:

<img src=http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/ccbanner.gif>

You will get the picture:

If you want to shrink the apparent size of the picture, you can use the following addition to the picture code:

<img src=URL width=X>

Where X is the width in pixels of the picture. You will have to experiment to get the size you want. The above picture is 525 pixels wide. Let's say I want to shrink it to 250 pixels wide. Then I would use the code:

<img src=http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/ccbanner.gif width=250>

And I would get the following picture:

And as another example, lets say I want to shrink it to 100 pixels wide. Then I would use:

<img src=http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/ccbanner.gif width=100>

And I would get:

Please note however, that the picure is only apparently smaller. The load time is the same as the normal size of the picture.
