Here is an example of what it looks like when you post a picture INSIDE a posting. This is good to use if you have a great picture to go with a source. To add a picture to your postings, simply click on the third tool from the left on the posting page and follow the instructions.
This is what it looks like when you attach a video INSIDE a post. You do this using the second tool from the left on your posting page. You must have the video saved on to your computer to add it to a post. Or you can click on EDIT HTML on the top right corner of your post and paste in the embed code where you want it to go.
You can embed video separately (outside of a post) using the HTML gadget. Look at the bottom of my screen to see what it looks like when you embed a video OUTSIDE of a post.
