Bucky,
I deleted your entire pet post. The post threw the parameters of the thread all out of whack.
What I suggest you do: register at photobucket, imageshack, or tinypic (they are image hosting, editing sites and they are free), resize your pictures on one of those sites, then copy/paste the URL link the site gives you to the pictures in an image tag. OR you can edit your pictures in windows photo gallery and repost them as attachments.
you can find a quick post button for images on each "post reply" screen, it looks like this
. Click on that and paste the URL to your picture from the hosting site in those tags [*img] [*/img] minus the * .
The ideal picture size is 500 x 500
