Hi Snapperjon - welcome!
If you can get as far as uploading your pics to Flickr (it's easy 'cos I can do it) and your happy for them to be seen by anyone I find the easiest way is to copy the URL for the page where your pics are then paste direct into your message. This creates a link for folks to click on. You can use the URL for an album or individual pics.
Of course, if you are computer literate then this must seem like baby talk and if, like me, you're not then it's probably a case of the blind leading the blind
Anyway, best of luck.
Sue
