If you want them as url's, you don't even need the URL tag if you're just having them as a url without a name.

For instance,
http://www.pixspot.com/albums/userpics/ ... bridge.jpg
will show up completely fine as a url, whereas you the URL tag applies to a block of text that you'd like to hide a link in.

You just, select that text, press the "URL" button, and where the tag says "[ url ]" you enter "[ url=http://www.pixspot.com/albums/userpics/thumb_Bells%20bridge.jpg ]" or what have you. Check to make sure that at the end of the text you want linked, there's a closing tag. That's one of the "[ url ]"'s with a "/" before the "url".

If you want to make an image out of it, same logic applies, except for that you write the url of the image in (instead of whatever text you planned), select that url text, and press the "Img" button which will place "Img" tags around your url's making sure those images post correctly.

Edit: I've gone ahead and made your images into "Img" linkers, however, you might want to resize those images on your server into something bigger than a thumbnail. Keep in mind that the maximum you should go is 700 width, but you can certainly go bigger than what you currently have.

You've probably read this already, but just in case look at this sticky on embedding images. Definitely the thumbnails are too small.

Think i have it sussed now guys i was not clicking on the thumbnail in pixspot so i was uploadng the small image and not the larger one.Thanks for all your help i would have given up by now if it wasnt for the helpful and friendly people on here

Hi Stephen,
I like your second shot but it does look a little light on my monitor. The first shot seems a little out of focus. In both of the last 2 I find myself wanting to see more on either side. Did you crop these? The sky colour is nice in the bottom one. I'm certainly no expert but you are on the way to improving your shots by putting them up for critique (as scary as that can be!).

Your compositions are all good, but you'll find you'll get much more pleasing results shooting between sunrise and 10am(ish!) and 5pm to sunset. The middle of the day tends to create harsh lighting/shadows. You'll notice that pro landscape photogs very rarely shoot at any other time (i know there are always exceptions!!).

Hope this helps..

try using a polarising filter - will bring the images to life, especially sky
