How to add more images to your Squidoo lens
There are three ways to include an image on a Squidoo lens. On some Squidoo modules, you can upload an image as part of the module. And in RSS feed modules, images in the feeds will be included if you allow HTML in the module, as I have done on this page. Images can also be included in HTML tags as part of modules that allow basic HTML. When linking to an image in this way, make sure you have permission to include the image, as there may be copyright and bandwidth usage considerations.
If you've learned something from this lens, or enjoy the pictures presented here, let me know!
(Note: The images in the feeds on this lens are chosen by the sites from which they originate, and may change daily. I myself may not have seen every image that has been displayed here.)

See any good pictures on the internet lately? You can add one to this list by adding the link to the page it appears on. This Plexo is intended for ranking images shown on the lens Pictures of the Day and More, but other images will be considered for this list as well, especially if there are no restrictions on distributing them. Please keep in mind when submitting an image that this is a G-rated lens. And if you enjoy this Plexo, you are encouraged to add it to your own lens or group headquarters!

Best Image Hosting
Rank your favorites, or add them yourself!
Some Squidoo modules allow you to upload images as part of the module; and some will allow you to add HTML that will add an image that is available elsewhere on the internet. Technically, you can display any image from any site, but it is of course inconsiderate to borrow someone else's pictures without permission; even if you have permission to use the image, you should save it to your own webspace unless you also have permission to hotlink it directly from the site where you found it.
There are many places on the internet where you can upload images and other files inexpensively or at no charge. You can use a regular webhosting service (which allows you to create a website), or a service that allows you to store and perhaps share images and other files uploaded from your computer. Some services, such as blogs or social networking sites, allow you to upload files for use on a page you create there; you can often display your images stored there, elsewhere on the internet.
Below are some popular sites for uploading images. I invite you to rank the items on the list, and add your own favorite if you don't see it here.

this page was not helpful. You didn't tell me which modules let me add pictures or how to do it. But thanks any way.
