I just checked out that web-page... regarding posting images, you can
use this website:
http://www.imageshack.us/

It is free image hosting. I added a thumbnail to the wiki page and a
link to the full-size image. Here's the code I used to do this:
(added by Matt Nuzum: But you can use a free service such as
[http://imageshack.us/ ImageShack] to host the images. For example,
here is a [http://img339.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ubuntusplash6xp.png
grub splash screen] I made a while back)
http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/9382/ubuntusplash6xp.th.png

Note that the last thing is the thumbnail image and it is separted
from the line above it with a carriage return. I did this to prevent
the image height dictating the line height for the text.

You can use this service to host and display images up to 1MB in size.
When you upload an image you're given sample HTML for a number of
different scenarios. I just copy the URL of the second to last option,
"Show image to friends" and created a wiki url like this:
[URLtoImage text to describe image]
You can optionally grab the path to the thumbnail image from the first
line and paste it into the wiki. Make sure to hit preview before
saving because with Wikis you have no control over formatting and you
could easily mess up the look of the page.

This could easily satisfy the short-term needs of the designers on
this project and it wouldn't stress out Henrik in the meantime (hi
Henrik!).
