Go to the site (www.sawitonline.com is another one), create the ad. Copy and paste the code generated onto craigslist.

I can see ads in cragslist RE section with full size images or pages with working links but I cannot figure out how to post ads like that.
I did ask technical support in cragslist for help but no answer.
If anyone could prompt what should I do to post full size image ad in cragslist I would appreciate it so much!

Posting on Craigslist:
1)Click on ?real estate for sale.?
2)Click on ?post? in upper right corner.
3)Click on ?I am offering housing.?
4)Choose the category: real estate by owner, real estate by broker, apts/housing for rent, etc.
5)Then you will be to the point where you are actually writing the ad. Below the ?posting description? box is a button: Add/Edit Images. When you click on the button you will see 4 red X?s. Below the X?s are Browse buttons. From this point you will attach the pictures the same way you would attach files in an email.
Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for response,
But I am asking how to make your ad in craigslist in non-standard way, perhaps using HTML code.
Please, see links to know what I mean:

Any idea? Please!
You embed HTML in your post - Posted by Chi Ming

You basically have to write your post using HTML for it
to pull in pictures and have live links. They have no
tool to do this for you on Craigslist but there are
tools out there (you can check Tucows.com for some free
ones) that will generate the HTML you then paste into
the description box. Be sure to post your pics
somewhere in advance that the internet can get to (not
your hard drive) before creating the HTML or you will
end up with placeholders instead of pictures.

I use vFlyer. The first 3 listings are free. Looks great and you can copy and paste the HTML into CL. Very cool. Here’s one of my examples so you can see:

Thank you everyone so much for valuable help.
Chi Ming, you gave me exact answer that fits to my understanding and expectation, because I really want to see my ad with full size picks and my own text. I have a website quite poor, but it should be enough to create links for picks I want.
To all who answered I wish to succeed and prosper.

Thank you guys for hints. But please, would you elaborate a little bit more? Should I go to these sites and how I will download my ad in craigslist after? Or these websites have a code that I can download anywhere?

OK.
QUESTION: Should you go to these sites?
ANSWER: Yes.
QUESTION: How will I download my ad in Craigslist after?
ANSWER: You have a bunch of pre-done HTML. You do “Select All.” Then “copy.” Or Control-V. You go to Craigslist. You select the appropriate category and fill out the required information there. Then you past (Control-C) the HTML from the other site into Craigslist.
QUESTION: Or these websites have a code that I can download anywhere?
ANSWER: Yes. In some cases, you’ll have a choice of code. Sometimes it’ll be optimized for Craigslist. Often, you can use the same code elsewhere.
I use Vflyer, but the others mentioned are also good.

Some are automatic, others are not. Just configure your ad and at the end they’ll ask what you want to do or tell you what else is required. Some even allow youtube video’s. Trust me if I can do it anyone can, just try. Herbster
