Since you are on AOL you have some webspace where you can host pictures. I'm not sure how it works specifically for you on AOL, but check into that for hosting your pics instead of a pop-up ridden free location.

e-mailing a photo from your hard drive is different from what happens when you see an image on the internet, like in posts on this website. When you e-mail an image, you are sending the complete file, and when the recipient gets your e-mail the file is stored on their hard drive.
When you see an image on the internet, you are basically taking a peek into someone's hard drive (or more often into a web server's drive) and your browser copies the file, then opens it to display it.
To add your pictures to posts you create, they have to be stored online somewhere. There are lots of places that will give you limited amounts of free webspace, but the catch is they add advertising to any .html content you put up, such as a web page, and in most cases, they won't let you link to images they host on their web space because they won't be able to get their advertising displayed that way, which is how thay make money. Geocities is among the most famous for this.
You may be able to find a free web space provider that doesn't have this catch, but you really have to look around.
You can also buy web space on a yearly basis for pretty cheap. www.inexpensivedomains.com starts at $8.00 per month for 50 megabytes.
Once you've done that, and your images are stored online, you can put a link in your posts that lead to your images, or you can have tham display right there in your post if they're not too large.
Hope I've made sense, and if you need more help on this, drop me an e-mail.
