This board does not have an upload function, so you'll need to find a host for your images elsewhere, and link them in. Some hosts allow direct inclusion of images, others don't.
Direct inclusion:
The way to do this is to enclose the URL for the image in IMG tags. So, replacing the () with [], type it like this:
(img)http://www.hostname.com/yourimagefilename(/img)
There is no way in the default code (as far as I can tell), to resize images using the IMG tag, so however big the image actually is, that's how big it'll show up here. There's supposed to be some hacks out there to add in the function, but neither Mark nor I am coder types.
WARNING! If you scanned your image at 600dpi or other print-quality resolution, keep in mind that webpages default to showing images at 72dpi. So your "small" image may end up being bigger than someone's monitor. If the image is going to be more than 800 pixels wide, you may want to shrink it before posting. If I see any excessively large images, I may edit them into URL links.
Non-Direct Inclusion:
If you can't just link in a .JPG or .GIF (or .PNG) file because of restrictions of your host, then just paste in the URL directly, the board automatically makes it clickable. You'll see this a lot for deviantArt links.
If you want it to look a little nicer, then use the URL tag, again replacing () with [].
