There is a free site where you can lodge a picture file (jpeg, gif, etc.)
and then in your post refer to that picture by a conveniently short URL.

There is no sign-in, no registration, etc., the pic is available to all
and sundry. This method is a lot more efficient than posting a binary to
any newsgroup.

Give it a try. The picture can be any size, it doesn't have to be
tiny---it's the URL that is tiny, not the picture.

http://tinypic.com

The picture doesn't expire, it will stay there forever, sort of.

Having said that, I haven't managed to get it to work. Would someone
else like to try?
