now I just have to work out how to send pic,s

http://www.photobucket.com.au 

Grab yourself an account there and upload photos to it.

Then when you want to put pics on here, copy and paste the line for [IMG] into your post. Easy!
But make sure pics are less than 50k in size.

You can post larger pics up onto photobucket, the 50kb limit only applies to photos hosted by avd.
