open a photobucket account. upload ur pics to the photobucket account from ur pc. under each pic in photobucket are 4 codes. the one that starts IMG copy and paste it into the box u type here in ur post.U can post as many codes as u like in one post. just make sure u hit the enter key after each one so they go under each other instead of next to each other  |
