There is one thing wrong with using a "Hosting Site" for your photos. While you get full-size photos attached in the post, if you ever delete the photo from the hosting site it disappears from your post. This leaves people reading the thread in the future wondering what it is about because all the pictures will have disappeared!
What I feel is better is to up-load thumbnails directly, these will always appear on your post. When doing a post go to the bottom of the page and you will see a "Manage Attachments" button. Click this and another dialog box opens that has a "Browse" button. Click the Browse and search for where you keep photos on your computer. Find the picture, double click on it and the file name will appear in the dialog box. Click the "Upload" button. You can post up to 5 photos this way. Just repeat the browse/up-load as needed. Once you have all of your pictures simply click the "Close this window" button. The only issue is your pictures cannot be larger than about 1500x1000 pixels, so re-size them to this size before trying to up-load or it will simply fail. Mouse over the thumbnail or click on it and it will enlarge to full-size.
If you have posted and then want to add pictures after you saved the post, then start with the "Edit" button in the post. When the window opens then click the "Go Advanced" button. This will get you to the "Manage Attachments". Then proceed as for a new post. Example:
