Hey brit brat!
It's really not hard. Take a deep breath. Now let it all out. Better?
Here we go.
First they have to be saved as jpegs. The hit the New Postings button like you did to post your RANT (lol).
When that box opens, look across the top of that box to the right of the spell check option. There is a little icon that looks like a photo. Click on that.
It will give you the option to "browse" your computer for the image. Click on that.
Then you need to direct the browser to where the images are stored (on the hard drive or the desktop). Then click on the name of the jpeg you are trying to post, and the placement of the picture within your posting (right, left, or centered).
Then type your message and then publish.
Try this and let me know if you need more help. It should work just fine. :-}

Ok... when you scanned them and sent them they came to you in an email, right? So when you open the email you see your attachments. Open each picture and go to the FILE button at the top of your screen and go to SAVE AS and choose to save it to the DESKTOP or MY DOCUMENTS and then below either the number or the title of the picture should be a little block with an arrow that allows you to choose what form they are saved in. JPEG should be one of your choices. Then click yes or save and it will be saved for you so that you can open into the blog.
Try that first and if it doesn't work then maybe we need to talk over the phone so I can talk you through it.
DON'T GIVE UP! YOU CAN DO THIS!

is it like possible for some people not to have jpeg because i am really not finding ittttttt lol

When you received the email, it has all the pictures attached right? Do they have numbers? or maybe titles? What are you clicking on to open them up to look at them? Or do they just show up in the body of the email?
Explain what you have so I can instruct you in the next step.

Okey find the pictures in your email.
Right click them and select copy.
Go to start, all programs, accessories, paint.
Once in paint go to edit and click on paste.
The image will appear on your paint program.
Next go to file and click on save as.
Once in save as write in the pictures name in the file name section and right underneath you will find the save as type.
Scroll down in the save as type menu and select the PNG option.
Once both these sections are filled out hit the save button.
Congratulations your image was just saved into your computer.
Now to upload it to the blog.
First go to the upper right hand corner and click on new post.
After you've written all about whatever look to the upper part of your composition box.
There you'll see tons of font changing and layout changing possibilities, look for the add image one and click it.
Add image is third from the left and is the button that looks like a little landscape.
This will bring you onto an upload page.
If you're adding one image you're set, if adding more hit the add another image as many times as needed.
Okey now you have all your upload spaces.
Next to those spaces will be a browse button, click it.
This will take you to your my documents folder, from here you'll want to go to your my pictures folder, or wherever you happen to keep your pictures.
Click on the image and hit the open button.
Once you've done this for all your images make sure the image size is set to small and the choose a layout is set to none.
Now you can hit upload image and it will do just that.
Wait for it to finish loading and press the done button.
DO NOT JUST EXIT THE SCREEN THAT WILL CANCEL EVERYTHING YOU JUST DID!
Okey so now you have your post, your image should have appeared at the top, you can go ahead and publish it.
Yay you now just posted your image onto the blog! ^^

yes, i'd say that this sounds rite haha. it's what i'd do. i mean once you're able to save it as the right type of document or whatever, you shouldn't have much of a problem bc you just have to be able to find where you saved it again once you're writing the blog post. i hope it works for you! :)
