Heaping more anguish on myself...Pictures?

[Lighthouse one]

I've looked everywhere for an explanation on how to post photos...even set up an account at photobucket...so now what do you do? Somehow I managed to set up an Avatar before, but nothing shows up that makes any sense when I try to parctice posting a photo? I really don't need to post a photo- but it irritates me that I can't figure it out!

Hope this helps.
