Crock -- See the link to the left about our Image Policy for background on why we don't allow image embedding in the posts.
*How* to include images, though, is fairly straightforward -- Just load your pictures on a photohosting site (We use Photobucket, but there are others like Snapfish, etc) and then just put a
link like this I look forward to seeing your pictures, too!
Be sure to post in the Welcome Centre and the DITY Gallery if you haven't already.
Welcome,
John
