Two options if you don't have your own website -

(1) Persuade a friend to host the photo for you.
Send the photo as an attachment to an e-mail and, when it's hosted, include the 'url' in your post.
Note: If it's a business website, the pic should be hosted on a spare page which doesn't advertise products for sale or have a link to the main site. Pprune understandably doesn't allow free advertising.
It shouldn't be a problem. Some of the best photographs in the Rotorheads gallery are posted by a professional aviation photographer who doesn't promote his business, or even mention his name, when he posts his pictures on Pprune.

(2) Use one of the free photo hosting services on the net.
Make sure they allow direct linking to photographs. Some don't so you have to click a link each time which is a bore.
'Geocities' is unreliable - the links often don't work.

I've opened an account (free) with 1 ASP Host to see if it's of any use to people wishing to post pics here.

I'll post some pics as an experiment. Time will tell if the service is as good as they claim.
