if you find a photo on Google Images, click on the thumbnail which will open up a column on the right of your screen showing that photo and similar images. Click the button that says Visit, which takes you to the source. On a Mac do the two-finger tap so you get a menu box (not sure how to open that menu on a PC). Select Copy Image Address. Then come back to your post and paste that address. Delete all the garbage after .jpg. Et voila:



If you aren't getting the pic from Google Images but from some other source, skip all steps before the Visit button and just copy/paste from the source image. If the code you've pasted doesn't end with .jpg, .gif or .png the photo itself might not open up in your post, just the URL. Check Preview to see if it works.
