How do you post an image?

I'm fairly new here. I'm driving myself NUTS trying to post this map I made in Microsoft Paint. How do I do it?

First, you don't use caps and colours: that just makes people think you're a troll (though I don't think you're one). Secondly, what kind of image? If from the internet, you just copy/paste. Otherwise, you click on the "postcard" icon, insert the image URL and the image should appear. If from a Word document, you'll have to reinsert the image upon posting.

P.S. Welcome to the Board, enjoy your stay on behalf of Canadians and conservatives.

Okay. I edited it. I was trying to be funny by making it incongruant. It came out as annoying. Oh well.
The other thing is, it tells you that the image... Well, actually, I'm wasting my time now. Just read it. And what's the postcard icon?
Last but not least, I wanna tell you that I'm American, not Canadian. If I had a choice, I'd either be Canadian or Swedish. But I don't have a choice. Nature is cruel.

Read it where? If the file size is too big, it's probably saved as a .bmp. Go into paint, Save As, and select the file type as PNG.

Two things; I meant where it says that I made it in Microsoft Paint. And the size is 2048 x 1017 pixels.

I think I misunderstood what you said. But let's forget it and move on.
