Big pictures in CL ad?

[71T Targa]

How do I put big pictures in a craigs list ad? I see it done all the time, and googled it but couldn't find what I was looking for.

Thanks

I saw an ad that had over 20 large pics of this guy's welding and fabrication. I'd like to know how as well.

I think I've got it. In the text of the ad you put
******

Without the ***

something like:

[71T Targa]

Ok, well that works just like the 'insert image'

Lets try this: <*i*m*g s*r*c*= " (insert http source here) "*>

But do it without the *'s...

Use an online image host like photobucket. Upload your pics, then copy the http link into your Craigslist ad. Nice and easy.

Oh yeah, I forgot that part, thanks Matt. The pictures do need to be 'hosted' first. I use Picasa

Correct, except you need to copy the html link not http.

Here is what I ended up putting in my ad. Without the _'s

And how it looks in the ad: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/1177117619.html

On Flickr, when you select the sizing option, it will provide the HTML link that you copy/paste into the text area of your CL ad. Here's an ad I posted this morning.
