You have the photo. So it's easy ...

 

Write your log for the cache. Once you have written and submitted the log go to the cache page. Find your log. You will see the option to edit the log and also a symbol which looks like a mountain in a picture frame. Click on that. Then it was open a window asking where the picture is. Click on that and find the photo. If you're doing it from a smartphone this will be found in the gallery. If a computer it will be wherever you have stored the picture. Select it. After a short time the picture file will be shown next to the box. Under that is a short description box. Whatever you write there will be what others see u see the picture symbol.

 

There is another box after that you can write more detail about the picture. After that scroll to the bottom and hit upload and you're done.

Having now looked I think you mean like we have done here - http://coord.info/GC5FCZ5

 

If that is the case this is a bit harder. You need to instead image into the html of the cache description. We inserted ours into the short description to keep it separate - here is the code and what you need to use and do.

 

Take your picture and upload it to cache page. This is the "add image" button on the right. Once that has been uploaded it will now be in the cache pages gallery. Go to it and open image in new window. This give the pictures web address. Leave that open for a second.

 

Edit cache page

 

Go to short description box

 

Paste this code in

 

<center><span><span><span><img src="http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/638767bf-99eb-48f6-a0d2-6989cbadee29.jpg?rnd=0.301871" /><br /></span></span></span></center>

 

You will see in the code that after the first centre span span Img src = there is some speach marks. And the address of the picture we have used. Follow that along and you see the numbers 0.301871 and the next set of Speach marks. Delete our pictures address leaving the curser flashing between the two speechmarks.

 

Then go back to your pictures page. Highlight and cooy its web address and go back to the cache edit page and paste it between the speechmarks.

 

Tic the two boxes and hit save. And you're done.

In this instance the <span></span> tags seem surplus to requirements.

 

I'd also be tempted to place the line break after the image, so the code becomes:

 

<center><img src="http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/638767bf-99eb-48f6-a0d2-6989cbadee29.jpg?rnd=0.301871" /></center>

This thread also offers some useful pointers.

Wow - according to the cache page -

BTW, if you are lucky, you can also forage for free seasonal fruits (mangoes, camantiris or sour plum (guamochiles), lomboy (duhat or Syzygium cumini) and others).
