The first part is tested for IE7 and Firefox 3.6.xx.
Down at the bottom shows a different window in Google®Chrome and maybe others.
Prepare your picture for posting. Crop the picture so that there is more bottle and less background. This can cut the size dramatically while the bottle image remains the same. 640 wide by 480 high is the optimal size for any website but “aspect ratio” needs to be kept in tact so the dimensions can vary. An image as wide as 800 works OK on most monitors.
If you don't have an editor you can download an excellent free one here IrfanView or Google's here. Many just use Windows® Paint.
This first method for uploading only allows one picture per post. The other boxes that appear should be consistent with most operating systems,
Posting pictures through a web hosting service This is for using photobucket, other or your own hosting service. Multiple pictures can be posted in each post. Please maintain the sizes above. You’ll use copy/paste in this process.
Copy the information from the browser address bar from http through to the .jpg. Click on the button (1)  shown below. A dialog box will open. Make sure to clear the http and then paste your link. Hit OK and the picture should show immediately. Hit return. Repeat the process for each photo.
Using the link button. The link button is used to make TEXT link to a web page. To do this, choose which word (or words) you want and highlight it (them). Copy the web site address from http to the end. Click button (1) below and a dialog box will open. As before, make sure to clear the automatic http and then paste the link. Click OK. The highlighted text should be underlined and changed color.
Google Chrome and maybe others
While I can't test every browser Google Chrome shows a different screen. Safari, Opera and others I hope are at least one of the two tutorials.
Apparently Chrome works about the same but instead of the small picture buttons, it's spelled out for you. In other words, less confusing. These have link and image buttons. It does seam to make you paste the http to the .jpg, gif between the brackets that show up in the new post. I didn't get a dialog box.
Linking text seamed about the same. I did get a dialog box.
