I'm trying to use your instructions to put a picture into a comment or put a picture into the caption of another picture but it won't let me. The link to my picture is apparently too long. What can I do?

]]> You've stumbled onto a common problem. In fact, it's typically the cause of the "I only see two dots" complaint.

The good news is that there are services out there that make this very easy to deal with.

How do I put a picture into a caption of a picture I've uploaded to myspace.com? I see others doing it, but I can't figure out how.

While it might sound funny to put a picture as a caption on another picture, it makes a lot of sense if you're trying to add an emoticon or other icon.

I've already covered How to put a picture in a comment on MySpace, and while this seems different, it's really very, very similar.

How do I put a picture into a comment I post on someone's myspace.com account? I see others doing it, but I can't figure out how.

I get this question a lot, so I opened my own myspace account, and enlisted the help of a buddy to try it out. It's actually not that hard.

Caveat: I'm not a MySpace guru, so there might be easier ways. That being said, this wasn't too bad, and most importantly, it worked.

What's so special about myspace?

Folks are concerned about myspace.com. Should they be?
