Once you've created a gallery, you can use the Photo Upload feature to upload your photos (we always recommend you re-size your photos to 640x480 first). Once you have photos in your gallery, you can add them to your posts by performing the following steps: Locate an image in your web browser. Right click the image, then select Properties. When the Properties dialog appears, look for the Address (URL) line. Triple-click the URL that begins with "http://", then press CTRL+C on your keyboard. Now that the address is in your Windows clipboard, you can paste it via CTRL+V into your message. All that's required is the address/URL -- no HTML is required for the image to appear in your message.
