Seriously though - put the pictures on a photo sharing website (such as Fotki, Flikr, Picasa etc). Then create a link to the photo on attackpoint like:
<img width=400 src=http://images116.fotki.com/v714/photos/7/775793/5597083/IMG_2012-vi.jpg?1194841523</td>

Strictly speaking, the img tag should have its own closing bracket, not a td tag, and usually quotes around the attributes.

<img src="http://images116.fotki.com/v714/photos/7/775793/5597083/IMG_2012-vi.jpg?1194841523" width="400" alt="Photo." />

On a site like Picasa there is a menu option that creates the appropriate link. You just copy the code and paste it here.

Brooke is right. Single, double or no quotes are optional for the HTML. But it is a good thing to have your closing tag like that /> or that < / img >

I wasn't trying to point a finger, just hoping to make it less confusing for an HTML newbie. :-)

I agree that Picasa's built-in tool for linking to photos is really cool.

Flickr, which I use, has the same tool to create a link which I copy and then paste into A! I modify the width and height, if you have it over about 400 it runs out of the column on A!

Like coach I use Flickr and like it. The code to paste the link is under the "All sizes" tab once you have selected a photo. The 400 limit on width is smart - or just choose the "small" size which is 240 wide.

Another advantage of Flickr is once you have an account (still free I think) you can join the 89 other members of their Orienteering group and check out photos from all over the O-universe. And you can post your own photos there too.
