what is the procedure for having a picture appear in the post itself rather than just as an attachment?

Although I know you already know how to use the IMG tag, the trick (the part you're missing, I'll bet) is this:

Don't rightclick on the ATTACHMENT link and try to copy that into the IMG tag. That's just a link to the stub page that eventually loads the image. That won't work in an IMG tag. That's probably where you were going wrong.

Instead, open the attachment link fully in a new window. Once it's done loading, you'll notice that the URL in the address box has changed to the correct path pointing to the JPG file. NOW that the address has been fully updated with an actual file link, you can copy that to the clipboard and go back and paste THAT into the IMG tag.
