To use an external image, you need to upload it to a site like PhooBucket and link to it. ;) You can use PNGs or JPEGs. They both work.

I've heard stories of Photobucket failing with PNGs. Try using Tinypic or [http://www.imgur.com]Imgur[/url] instead. They have better bandwidth anyway.

Imageshack is cool too but also has pre low bandwidth. I don't think there are limits for Tinypic and Imgur accounts.

PhotoBucket created Tinypic because they needed to create an image service that can be used on sites like Twitter. ;)
