How to Embed Pictures
When you have a picture on the web, and it's not in a private folder... you can just copy its URL and then insert it directly in various places, like wikis, GoogleSites, etc.
This means you can see the picture as a 'window' from other applications without it taking up any memory space, and you also only upload it once.
To get the URL (website address) of a picture, just right-click* on the picture and select "copy image address"
*(in Mac the equivalent to 'right-click' is to press the "ctrl" key + click on mouse)
Then paste that address in the URL space when asked, in the Insert function (in GoogleSites, similar for others).
