Where do I get this photo bucket you're talking about?
Heh heh....
Ok, well, like all things learned, there's a start.
1st, resize your pictures using a photo editing program like PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro. Even Microsoft Paint will work if you have XP or better.
Best size to embed the picture in your post is 800 x 600. There's many people here that have ancient computers and would rather spend their money on boats. 1024 x 768 is good for me, and probably most, but it's too big for some and you'll get complaints.
Next, after saving your pictures resized, go to a photo sharing site on the web like Photobucket, Imageshack, or my favorite
HERE Then upload your pictures from your computer to their service. Once done, you'll be able to have direct links to your picture via a web address that can be used to view them. It looks like this:
http://aycu35.webshots.com/image/50514/2001200860013831198_rs.jpg
Now, to embed it in your post, you click on the icon in the post board labeled "Insert Image". It'll ask you for the URL, which is what I just showed you how to get. Paste it in there.
You'll get this in your post, but it'll be your picture, not the screen shot I am giving you.
That's it! Now you know how to put larger pictures directly into your post!
EDIT: When using the website AllYouCanUpload, you can select resize from the drop down menu under browse...which saves a step (a big step) editing them on your computer.
EDIT 2: Also, you can obviously edit previous posts, or use the preview button to see what it will look like before you submit it. If there's a mistake, you can correct it.
