For an image that already exists on a web page, the basic technique is to find out the address of the image. You do this by clicking the image with your right mouse button. (I'm assuming you're using Internet Explorer. Techies often use different browsers (I use Opera) so I'm learning this as I go along. Under the heading Address (URL) you will see the complete address of the image - it will look something like

Okay. Now you need to copy this address onto your clipboard. There are various ways of doing this. I highlight the whole address, then right-click, then select copy from the choices offered to me.
Okay.
Now go to Portyweb and start posting. When you get to the bit of the page where you want to insert the image, press the Img button, just above the box where you input the text. Then, without leaving any spaces, right-click again and select paste from the options offered to you. Then, again without leaving any spaces, click Img again. Press submit, and your image should appear on screen like this:
Unfortunately, some web-hosts won't let you link to images from Portyweb (or anywhere else, for that matter) and I think this is what happened with Bellybabe's images.
Of course, this all rather leaves open the question of how you get the image onto some web-space, but it's tea-time so I'll stop for the moment. Anyone else want to take over?
