No problem man.

First what you gotta do is upload the image somewhere, such as Photobucket. They will give you the address to that picture. Copy that. highlight the http:// stuff and press(CTRL+C)

Next when your in the window writing a post, you click the Img button at the top. Its in between the '*' and 'URl' buttons.

The cursor will go right in between the two img tags. Press (CTRL + V) to paste the adress in.

As for maps, what I do is i use MS paintbrush. I open up google maps and press the PRINT SCREEN button on the keyboard. Then i open paitnbrush, paste (ctrl+v), crop what I dont need, and save it as a gif. Upload to photobucket and follow the instructions above.

It seems complicated but you will get really fast at it.

Some forums like this one have "Upload Attachment" features, but I havent toyed with it yet.

You can also upload to our own server.

If you look on the bottom... below the [save][preview][submit] button.
You see a tab "Upload attachment"

Click that and you can upload to OFF server.
BUT! Please do remember to resize your picture size and save some bandwidth for our server. Reason is because pic. will be automatically resized anyways. I recommend 1024x768 as a good size. and keep the original size in your own computer.
And yes, using upload sites like Photobucket is good idea too.
