How do you insert a photo into a post

How do you insert a photo into a posting so that it comes up with the page and you don't have to link to it? When i click on the picture icon, it asks for a URL, how do you insert a pciture you just scanned that is not posted on the web.

On second thought, you might be able to do it by using the attachment feature first, than grab that URL and pasting it in.

But how do you reduce it to 50K or under?

I crop and resize using a program called Thumbs Plus. If you don't have any software, though, you can do it using Microsoft Paint in the image - stretch/skew feature.
