If you want to display images inside your posts without having to attach them - for example if you want to add more pictures than the max number of attachments - you can use our gallery system, located at gallery.silgrad.com. If you're unfamiliar with using Coppermine, you might want to start by reading the guide on how to upload pictures to the gallery.
After you've uploaded your pictures, find and click the album where you put them. Right-click the image you want to use and select "Copy image location", or whatever the option is called in your browser, and you'll get a link like this in your clipboard?:
http://gallery.silgrad.com/albums/userpi...liv26B.jpg
That's the url to the thumbnail.
Copy that, and in the copied line, delete "thumb_" from the filename - that's the url to the big picture.
You can also edit the second line like below, which will give you the url to the medium-sized picture, if you rather want to use that in your design. Medium-sized pictures have a fixed width of 500 pixels, regardless of height.

If you're ready for something more advanced, you can build your own urls locally by writing a list with the filenames of the pictures you have uploaded, then pasting any of the below urls before the image names. Then they can be conveniently pasted into your html page at the appropriate spots.

? The clipboard is where your computer stores stuff you copy, which can then be pasted (CTRL+V) to somewhere else. If you press the Print Screen button on your keyboard for instance, you can then paste the screen dump into most graphic programs.
