using a host such as www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.com
they will host your image and you link back to it.

link will look similar to this

[IMG] ) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/Vinc3nt_Steele2/DSCF0051.jpg[/IMG]

Added the extra ) in the link. Link gives you whatever you're linking to, in my case....

Dude - if you don't mind my unsolicited advice:

- keep your business card uncluttered
- think about what's the most important thing from your customer's perspective (name of company? title? your name? email addy? phone#?)
- your tag line "for all your needs" competes with your name and title
- everything is off balance

- I like the colour gradation

- if you have a website, why is your email addy @telus?

Dont use MS publisher for business cards. Get them professionally done with good card stock and representative of your organization. You never a second chance to make a good first impression.

- great business card! It's vivid, clear and you make good use of two colours!
- when you reprint this, consider putting your logo and tag line on the pen to really show how it would look instead of just "LOGO"

GTARAIL
- looks like someone found a font library! ...kinda hard to read as a result
- pretty cool looking van graphic tho'
- website would not load so can't comment on that (unless THAT is the problem)

Jokez - awesome card with great "professional-looking" graphics. I'd trust you for my GSM phone needs!

So do you sell all cell phones and accessories but specialize on GSM? There are 2 messages on your card - it's best to keep it to one clear, take home message!

phone/web/email text is redundent - if you don't know that xxx.xxx.xxxx is a phone# then you should not be able to buy one! same goes for websites and email addy's.
