Hint on [s]tinypics[/s], MAKE THAT TINYPIC (thanks Sue for that correction!)
when you upload your photo, and once it says you have successfully done so
BEFORE you do ANYTHING else, snoop around on the page, and you will find a small little clickable note that says something to the affect:
EMAIL this link to yourself.
or, EMAIL this link (something or other)
click on the link, up will pop a small window where you can type in your email addy. Do, this, and email yourself the data. When you get the email it will contain data that looks something like this (I have edited these link addys, so, don't go there!
)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Link:
http://tinypic.com/is.jpg
Tag: [img]http://tinypic.com/is.jpg"; alt="Image hosted by TinyPic.com]
Img: [IMG]http://tinypic.com/is {/IMG]
(the line above had been edited, you need a thingy like this "[" and a thingy like this "]" around the IMG and /IMG or it messes up!)

OKKK, now, when you have emailed yourself the link data, what I do, is WAIT till I have received it in my email box. I then save this email in a subdirectory with others I have. Then I always have it.
NEXT: I copy the line that starts with Img: you need to highlight the [IMG to the end which is /IMG] YA NEED ALL THAT FROM START TO FINISH
THEN: I paste that stuff into where ever it is that I am working and want the data.
OHH, I know it sound confusing, that is why I use that email thing, then I can always retrieve the IMG data and all that stuff, even days later. Sure beats trying to write down on a piece of paper all that "stuff".
Hope this helps.
