Sometimes it requires you to host your picture somewhere on the internet and give it a corresponding URL for the picture. Auctionwatch can't do this! You have to "upload" your picture to an FTP site of a website. Ok that sounds complicated but chances are your ISP already has some webspace set aside for your account (almost ALL DO), so either check on their webpage or call them and say I need to use my webspace for a picture I need to put on the web. You will need an FTP Client (which is a free download from www.download.com and if you have never used one I sugged CUTE FTP).
If you do not have webspace you can always use Geocities or Angelfire (www.geocities.com and www.angelfire.com) which are free services but a pain to work with.
I suggest contacting your internet service provider and uploading the picture, its a cinch and you will probably need to do it again in the future!
Once you upload your picture it should be able to be view on the internet by going to a similar address:
www.yourISP.com/~yourUSERNAME/picture.jpg
Where your ISP is your internet provider name and your user name is your user name and the picture is the picture name .jpg or .gif whatever the pictures format is!
I hope this is helpful, if you need more info please reply to this message!
