open an account with photobucket.com

or click on your "gallery" button at the top of each post then use the upload feature. though that will only do smaller pics.

so the photobucket is my new fav for pic hosting.

when you are done uploading to photobucket you will recieve a url of where the pic is located. cut and paste that using the img feature when you post (not using the quick post feature).

or if you are familiar with html you can just type it in by hand "[I M G]xxxx[/I M G]" remove quotes and spaces and place url inplace of xs

Looks good, do you have, by chance, a step-by-step breakdown of the method and parts you used.

I'm always looking for a good design to try.
