Before you leave Blighty, Danny, a quick demonstration of how to illustrate posts if you or anyone else for that matter wishes to. You need a digital image in your computer (ie photos that have been scanned, or loaded from a digital camera, etc. You register (free) with a photo hosting site such as: Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket
and select upload there and then navigate to your image on your computer. Click on it and it should transfer to Photobucket where you can store it in your "album". There you can click on it and it and a series of links should appear. Select "Direct Link" and "copy" it just as you do text for composing posts. Now go to the post that you are composing, select the Insert Image Icon immediately above the text block (3 to the left of the YouTube one). An image block appears, "paste" in the Direct Link (making sure to delete any "helpful" http// already there beforehand. It won't work of course, so don't waste lots of text in the same post. Just go for the image and keep trying until you succeed or get fed up. Then have another go. I haven't tried it for some time so everyone can have a good laugh while I demonstrate how not to do it:

Well amazingly it seems to have worked, but I must give credit to BOAC for his excellent tutorial here:
