How exactly do you attach pictures onto a post?

You first need to host the picture on a website (ie Flickr or Photobucket, etc..) then just type in the URL (web address) of that picture using the IMG code below

Sizing it is a problem for me. I usually have to rely on our fab mods to help me out.

uhhhh.... I guess a picture hosted at Snapfish doesn't work the same way?
I had the picture in a different tab, clicked on the img button, pasted in the url from the picture, clicked on the img button again, and all I got was a line of text (the url) which was so long it made the page not fit in the screen anymore. I hate it when that happens, so I deleted the too-long url.

A couple small tips that might help:

If you are using Photobucket, try clicking the "Reduce" button to resize before posting.

If you are using Snapfish, make sure you get the entire URL...some can be quite long and with Snapfish you need to get all 3 lines - pull your cursor past the first two so that you can copy the hidden 3rd line. Snapfish's URL's usually end in the letters si.

Oh... so I should run it through tinyurl first maybe...
thanks.
