9. no

DU doesn't allow you to upload your image. Few reasons

1. Bandwidth cost
2. Copyright Issues

So find a good webserver, prolly yahoo briefcase and link it from there.

2. You can't

You can only post picture which already are on the internet. To post your own pictures you need webspace.

But i think you cant have photos over a certain size
