About posting your pictures (The short version):
You can link to a picture already on a web page, or you can upload your picture. I always link, so there may be a better way to upload.
1> Linking: Go to your picture on the web and copy the URL. In the reply box here at City-Data, put your blinking cursor on a new line then click the yellow icon with the mountains on it. Paste the URL then click OK. In your post, you'll end up with IMG enclosed in brackets followed by the URL, followed by /IMG enclosed in brackets. That's your picture. It will show after you post the message.
2> Uploading: Go to "My Settings." Click on "Pictures and Albums" in the left column. Click on "Create Album." Upload the selected pictures from your hard drive into the album. After creating the album, follow instructions in 1 for linking in order to have your pictures appear here.
If the linking instructions are followed correctly your image will appear as does the one below.
