How do you make an image without using attachments?

How do you make an image? I know you use the insert image button, but how do you make an image without having to have an attachment below the post?
Any help will be appreciated! :)

The   [img] and [/img]  tags need a URL (a web address) as such, the image should be on a website somewhere. If th eimage is one you made (screenshot, for instance), then you need to upload it to a website. I use imgur, since they are free and you can upload anonymously. If you create an account, you can control images by subsequent deleting them if you so wish. Imgur also give you the correct BBCode  to paste in the forum.

So, for example, I used Windows Snipping Tool to take a screen snip from a picture of a tree and uploaded it to imgur:



Then I posted it here:   [img]http://i.imgur.com/msp6QdN.png[/img]
