As dstone81 said, uploading the photo to Flickr first is easiest.  Click on the photo in Flickr; click on Share; copy the link; paste the link into the Reply To box here.  I just paste it into the Visual tab, and in the editor it looks like text but after clicking submit, you see the image.  Hope this helps, would love to see your photo.

Here is one of mine

I put the unpowered bulb in another thread here, so this is the bulb with power.  Yes, it is really lit with 120VAC, 60Hz.

 

I will say, I have a 24-70 f/2.8, which lives on a shelf.  It is not my favourite lens and it is not an extremely useful range of focal lengths for an APS-C sensor body.  If I start shooting things more suited to it, then I might use it more but I have 24, 50, 85 and 100 mm primes so there are ways around it.  It all depends on what you shoot.  When traveling I like to take a Rebel T2i, with Sigma 10-20, Sigma 18-250, Canon 50 mm f/1.8, a 2X teleconverter, set of extension tubes and a 430 EX II flash.  That all fits into a StealthReporter 300 bag and I can carry it all day.  With that collection, I can shoot almost anything and get a reasonable photo.  Everything in my Beijing-Shanghai gallery (I think you can get the link from my profile, or the thread where many of us posted our sites) was shot with that combination, you are welcome to have a peek.  Those lenses would be better choices for you than any 24-70, unless and until you move to full frame.  If you are doing portraits, one or two really fast prime lenses, like an 85 mm f/1.4, or f/1.2, would serve you better.
