John.

Go to Gallery, and there should be one set up for you.

Click on this, and there is an option to upload.

No Jack. The size limitations are much more generous.

I don't know how you store your photos John but if you use Picasa you can reduce the file size by exporting the photo. Export allows you to choose the pixel size and quality of the pic.

I'm sure other photo sharing sites offer the same option but I'm only really familiar with Picasa.

To insert a picture this way, I assume it has to have a web address (as opposed to uploading from one's own computer files)?

It took me a few goes to get this to work with picasa. With picasa there is a set of options in the right hand margin
1. click on 'link to this photo
2. select the 'image only (no link)' checkbox
3. grab the url from the 'embed image' textbox
4. paste the url between the image tags Image

If in doubt upload it to your Image Gallery and then use the ' Album ' option to include the pic in your post ;)
