How do I post diagrams in my posts (.i.e. visio)?

I would like to post a diagram to help explain a system configuration. Is there anyway of doing this?
Thanks,

Nope. There are sites like pastebin for graphical data which
you could use (but they usually expire quite quickly), or if
you have any means of hosting it externally, you could post
a link to that.

Cheers,

P.S.: This is a website related question, so I moved it to the
appropriate forum.

OK. Thanks.

If you haven't heard of these before, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastebin.

BTW, I thought pastebins are for ASCII data -- programming languages & such. See: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?help=1. Do any of them accept VSD etc. files?

I have only had occasion to post diagrams of ethernets here at LQ; &, for that, ASCCI art has served me well. I just put the "picture" in a "Code:" block (surround it w/ [CODE][/CODE] tags.)

Pastebins are ... that's whay I said "like pastebin".

Here's one: http://postimage.org/

And no, it wouldn't accept visio diagrams, but you can take
a screenshot (or export?) and "paste" (upload) a jpg or png.

I've seen several links here to photos, screenshots, etc. that were stored on PhotoBucket. AFAIK, they don't 'expire', there.

Cheers
