Here is a photo of my DS's birthday party. All went well and he really enjoyed him self. Poor mum was buggered though after all the preperation and cooking.

 Mandi, when you click on 'Additional Options' for attachments, next to the word Browse you will see (more attachments) next to it.  Click on that and it will allow to you post a few more photos, as long as they aren't too big.

Glad DS (a big boy now he is 5) had a great day.  You did well and deserve to put your feet up right now.

I have tried that Judy and it keeps telling me that the files are too big even though I make sure its below the allowable limit, I have noticed other members can post several large photos in one post. How do they manage this? Is it to do with the Insert Image icon near the Insert Hypo link link?

dede you need to 'edit' your photo's before you post them. ie. downsize them for using on the web, and then 'Save'...should be alright then

You can also use a web photo service such as Photobucket which is what I use.
It is very easy to use and uploads are fast, compared to other online photo services.  

For the basic service, it is free.  
You join PhotoBucket, upload your photos, and when you want to post in a forum, simply open the photo you have uploaded, click on the "Direct Link"  URL button, which will automatically copy the address and then you select the Insert Image  ikon above and paste the copied address.  
You can preview the post to see if the photo has been dropped into your post.

I pay for the Photobucket Pro upgrade because I have hundreds of photos uploaded in several albums, not all of them for public view.  
 Here's a photo from my Coffee brewers Espresso album

That has got to be the strangest looking kitchen machine I have ever seen - the coffee looks great, though!

That has got to be the strangest looking kitchen machine I have ever seen - the coffee looks great, though!

I used to have one of the big "super automatic" espresso machines - piped-in to the water supply and all but I seldom used it and back in May some friends phoned on a holiday weekend, desperately in need of one for a party.  One of the guys drove up here, disconnected it and they used it a few times but when they phoned about a time to return it, I told them to keep it.  It was only taking up space and I figured they would use it daily.

About ten days later I got a suprise package with the Dolce Gusto Creativa and several boxes of the capsules.
I have a Senseo coffee machine but it only develops 1.5 bar of pressure and the  Dolce Gusto develops 15 bars so it is like a mini espresso machine.  
The capsules are much more expensive than the coffee pods and capsules made for other coffee machines, but I like it and it is fun to use.  
No foaming of the milk with a steam wand (and no steam burns) just pus the button and get the drink of your choice.
It was so sweet of them to send me this gift and I have been having fun with it.
