I must admit, I don't like DW very much and if LJ ever collapses I'm out of most sides and challenges of the fandom. So sad.

Choose View All Your Images. The image codes are there for you to copy/paste into entries, choosing between thumbnail or full size.
If you have a paid account you can also set up posting via email, and any images added to the mail will automatically upload and be added to the post.
This DW for tumblerites post might be useful to find your footing? :)

you have to do it in two steps, from what I can see?
If posting from the site, yes. Though you can batch-upload, so it's not one image at a time. If you're planning to post a lot of images, the best way would probably be to get a paid account and set up posting by email.
To post an image to your journal by emailing it to the site, you need to make sure that you've set up posting by email. Once you've set that up, you can attach an image file to an email post. The image will be posted exactly as we receive it and won't be resized. The image will be posted at the end of the entry. Any text you include in the email after you attach the image won't be included in your entry.
You can upload multiple images at once by attaching multiple image files to the email.
I presume that 3GB is an overall allowance, and once you exceed it, dw would stop letting you post images unless you deleted some (and thus lost them from your posts)?Correct, you can only host images up to that image ( ... )

I just discovered that if you have the paid version of Adobe Acrobat you can get it to download and archive your content as a pdf. It doesn't include comments by default, but you can choose to save more than one "level" of links. Very handy for making a comprehensive snapshot of posts.
