donreno,
Welcome to the group! I learned from the folks who have been here longer than me. Open up a Photobucket account to upload your photos / videos there (free) .
From the view function on your account you will see a share link, click on that then click on “get link code” you can then choose a small or large photo in the “IMG for bulletin boards and forums”. Cut and paste the link into your posting and then upon you preview you will see what you posted. Even an old guy like me can do it .
Some of the upgrades you mention, you can save some money by looking at our sponsors on this site as well as ebay (even make some of the items yourself if your handy)
Congrats on your BR, enjoy the ride!
