Uploading Pics

I know there was a topic on this not too long ago but there are too many new topics posted to dig it up easily. I figure you guys know more about this than any one else on these forums. I had a pic in my sig and then I reformatted my hard drive and didn't save the pic. So then I had a red X in place of the picture. By the time I went to upload a new picture, AF had changed itself and the upload picture section was moved or deleted. So I tried to do it manually and I kept messing something up and I was getting the text back rather than a picture. So someone please tell me how to get the correct html code for a picture and I think I can take it from there...

well after you upload it to a site when you type it in it should look like

*put the picture url here*

Finally got it. I was making a stupid mistake before. I realized what it was, but then my webshot server was giving me trouble. Oh well, got it now. Too big???
