If you could open your "web page" (picassa on google or whatever you use) that hosts your pictures, then open the folder for this event, then capture the full address in the task bar, then come back to the San Jacinto board under the topic, go to this trip report, hit respond, then click the button on the top of this box that says URL with an underline (it will then put this on the page[url]), then right click the mouse and say "paste" (it will put the address from the webpage that is hosting all the pictures you took) then click the button above marked URL underlined one more time(it will look like this at the end of the pasted part[/url]) and it will put book ends on the address for you pictures and it will become a "shortcut link" to all the pictures you took. That way everyone that wants to look at all of them can do so by double clicking that "hot link"

It should look something like this:
http://s908.photobucket.com/user/CharlieMacbob/media/For%20Bluerail/DSC_0030_zps118f734e.jpg.html
If you want the hot link to just say "Pictures Here" you have to do things a little differently once you clink on the URL tab above that is underlined, then you have to go inside the box [url] and put an "=" sign next to the "l' inside that box so you have [url=, then you have to add the address to the web address for all the pictures so now you have [url=http://s908.photobucket.com/user/CharlieMacbob/media/For%20Bluerail/DSC_0030_zps118f734e.jpg.html]

Then you type the word "Pictures Here" between the two book ends [url=address]Pictures here[/url] and click that url button one more time to get the second book end.

Individual pictures work the same way you just have to capture a pictures web address in the address bar on the hosting website, then use the "Img" button above [img]picture%20address%20goes%20inbetween[/img]

Book ends have to be touching the address on both ends they cannot have gaps between the words inside or out side, that's what causes most of the problems.

Look forward to seeing the other pictures

PS one last thing the address for the one picture you put up is missing something minute in the address so when we click on it, it gives a "cannot find" message over in the webpage that is hosting your one picture

I'll retry tonight at home where I can access all the pages. Tried today at lunch but can not get to all the sites such as meetup. Appreciate the tutorial. It should help.

I edited your original post. The group shot is now included in-line, and I added a link to the MeetUp photos.

Google Picasaweb is a good photo host although they're trying to steer people into the inferior Google Plus product. Yuck.

In Picasaweb, if you put a "noredirect" parameter when you type in the web address (URL), you'll stay in Picasaweb instead of getting shunted to the bogus Google Plus. My Picasaweb account for example is hikin.jim. Here's what my URL would look like:
http://picasaweb.google.com/hikin.jim?noredirect=1

If for example your Google account name were "Ardiner", you would enter:
http://picasaweb.google.com/Ardiner?noredirect=1

When you got into the individual photos, there's an option to get a link direct to that photo.

It's really a good interface; you just have to play with it a bit.

P.S. Oh, and I gotta thank you for this one:
