You can add images to your posts and make it more expressive and more attractive. There are number of free image sharing services, which you can use to upload the images and embed/insert them in your posts. Best of them are Flickr and ImageShack. If you have a Yahoo ID, you can also access Flickr with the same. You can upload images there and add them to your posts.

Inserting an image and aligning it left: Use the tag

<img src="http://www.sitename.com/someimage.jpg" align="left" />

If you need some space between the image and the text on the right side, use HSPACE element. You can change the value to increase or decrease the distance.

Syntax: <img src="http://www.sitename.com/someimage.jpg" hspace=10 align="left" />

Example:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
