putting pictures in a trip report


I have noticed that some of you put pictures in your trip reports and/or posts and I think it sometimes doubles the enjoyment of reading the reports but when "I" try, I get the alphabet mixed with some hieroglyphics.
Can someone tell me how to do it? I am going to Vegas in 10 days or so which happens to be Halloween and I hope to see some trip report quality costumes.
Thanks in advance

WARNING: I am terrible at giving computer related directions, but here goes . . .

I like using tinypic.com to add pictures to my trip reports. I don't do it often enough, so every time I do I have to fiddle around with it before I get it to work.

So go to tinypic. Select "Browse" and choose the picture you want to upload. Go to the "resize" menu and select the size for "message boards". Click on "Upload" (they've added this annoying feature where you have to watch a short commercial clip and enter the code word given, every time you upload a picture). Copy (CTRL C) the IMG code for the message board size. Paste (CTRL V) the code into your trip report. If you paste directly to your trip report on the LVA message board the IMG code will show. If you go to the bottom and select "preview" it will show the actual picture. I hope this works for you (fingers crossed)!
