Okay I'm making something that I would like to customize with catholic pictures, but it says I have to enter the URL for the picture to place it.

So how do I find pictures with a URL
or
how do I get my pictures in a URL format?

It's not my blog and there is no uploading option, just type in the URL.

Can anyone help me with this?

thanks a million and 1!

I'm no expert, but I know of two ways: go to google images and when you click on a specific picture you like, you get a window with the google frame still on top, and the website that contains the picture on the bottom. Click on the pic in the google frame *again*, and you are usually taken to a window with just your picture. The URL in your browser address bar is the URL for that picture. Now that being said, I've taken pictures that way to make a slide show, and it wound up opening all sorts of weird windows on my blog afterwards. I think some programs don't "take" the picture for you and host it, they kind of steal the bandwith, and that is frowned upon. It depends on what you are doing.

Second, a little more work but worth it in my opinion, is to find the picture you want, right-click on it, "save image as" and then name and remember where you kept it on your hard drive...then go to a place like photobucket.com (you can get a free membership) and upload your pictures there. Photobucket will provide you with a URL for your picture and board code if you want to post it a place like here. :)

HTH!
