You want to include it in an image tag, thusly:

img src='http://www.NowAndFutures.com/images/fed_all_short_term.png'

except with < and > at either end of the above. I'm not sure what graphics formats work... .png seems to.

What Bart was referring to was that the graphic *needs* to be posted to some website somewhere...if you note, the img src above is actually pointing to nowandfutures.com. Despite appearances, the images aren't actually 'put up' and sitting on the SI site.

(as a test, copy the above img src line, paste it into a reply, put the brackets < and > at either end (before img and after png') and see what happens.

Lost me, but perhaps my question is more basic. I'm only interested in putting up (not linking) the occasional chart, ,example:

from a saved file or even something like MS paint.


Sorry, this stuff is a whole lot easier to show than write about.

is correct and is hopefully clearer to you than my attempted explanation.

The restated first step (after you have the file of course) is that you have to place it on some web server somewhere on the internet. The one I noted ( 100megsfree.com ) is just one of the many places that has web servers available that will host your image files for free.
Another way to state it is that you need to get the file to a web server (a fancy name for a computer directly on the web with very specialized software running) somewhere that SI can see.

The second step is telling SI how and where to find it, and we can cover that once you decide if you want to open an account at a place like 100megsfree, or perhaps even talk to some computer guy at wallstreetexaminer.com that will provide space and instructions on how to get the file there.
