Ernest...First of all, convert it or rescan it as a JPG. That will be a much smaller file size and one that is recognised by browsers.

Once you have it in jpg format you will have to upload it to a website somewhere on the net. (see a similar topic post by Monte Jumper a little lower down this page). Then you can post a link to that internet location by typing [img] "the WWW location address" [/img] <-------without any spaces.

This probably sounds complicated but once you do it one time it is real easy after that.

You will eventually need to buy yourself a nice typestyle book. There are several of them available and they range in cost from $25-200. Do a search on the internet and you can find them easily. Once you have the book, the typestyles will be easier to identify. Hint: Look for a book that sorts the fonts by style...., sans serif, display, script, block serif, pointed serif etc. Then, pick out an unusual letter of the font you're trying to identify and just scan the list with your eyes looking for that particular letter. Sometimes an uppercase Q is a good letter to use. Once you find the letter in the book, your journey has just begun because the names of the fonts are always the same. For instance if you are looking for a Brooklyn and come across a Bookman.... you will have probably found your font...but might not know it. It's tricky...but after some practice and experience, you'll be able to identify most of the fonts...most of the time.
