You can subsribe to this site's Image Upload; the $5.00 annual fee (if I recall the amount) is a small price to pay to keep Fred from having to foot the entire bill for this fantastic resource.
I use the IU service, and can upload up to five images per post, but they are limited in size -- not too much of an issue for what I use them for.
You can also/instead insert links to other services you might have, such as Flicker, Photobucket, etc.

Any chance of people posting portraits they have taken with using one or two speedlites and softboxs inside or outdoors.
It would be great to see samples of how people have used them and any information on settings or setup would be great...
Here's one using three lights. If I recall correctly, I used a slave 580EX II in a 28" Apollo soft box as fill light, a slave 430EX in a small dish as a hairlight, and the 7D's pop-up flash as master and key light.
Canon 7D, Manual Exposure Mode, 50mm f/1.4 lens at f/2.8, 1/64 shutter speed, ISO 320.

These are a couple from my last shoot using a speedlight in an Apollo Orb mounted on a monopod for easy positioning by an assistant. I fired the flash using my Pixel King trigger.

One more. This was from 2 years ago but I just did a behind the scenes blog post about it because it's been a pretty popular image for me though when I look at it I see all the things I would do differently now!

I am really missing something then as I have signed up for the site but no where so I see anything that says (subscribe). First I tried to find a help button which I don't see here either.

Not to discourage Fred's service which is great, but Flickr works pretty nicely as a free host. Just include the link to the image hosted there. I've done essentially that since before there was a pay service here. What is very worthwhile is paying for the buy/sell board which also gets you uploading? as I recall, but maybe I'm mixed up.
