Hi Jerry
for posting pictures you can get some info onder the A4A help button.
The basics are a bit similar to the moving text and other options only this time you use the button with the framed picture in it. You end up with code like this (NB the outer brackets should be square [ ] but then this line wouldn't show up in this posting.

But more important is the question "where to put the picture you want to link to?" You can't add or copu a picture into the text. It has to be available somwhere on the web in order to be linked to. Linking to pictures on your PC won't work.
You could link to existing pictures on other sites like the tourist office or dedicated gardening sites for plants and flowers. But that's not a nice thing to do. Firstly because of possible copyright violations and secondly because you generate virtual traffic to that other site and nick some of their bandwidth.
So the best thing to do is to upload the picture to some place on the web that is yours. I ve got my own homepage and I uplink my photos to that place. Its a couple of MB for which I pay my provider.
So there are three steps you need to master:
* making or getting digital photo's (your own or from elsewhere)
* Uploading them to your own webspace
* Linking the picture in your posting
A good place to store your photos prior to xfering them here is Photobucket.com this is the one most members use.(So I'm told) It's free and you just copy and paste the BOTTOM line in between the[img]......[img] which appear when you click on the little picture image. If you are having difficulties dont be afraid to ask.You will always find someone to help on A4a.
Good luck
