Upload the image module, and use the image attach function. Very easy to use.

Drupal supports avatars by default. Go to: admin/user/settings and set the "Picture support" option to Enabled.
I'm not certain but it may be required to enable the Upload module as well as possibly the Profile module for avatars to work.

Head over to http://drupal.org/project/Modules/name and perform a search with your web browser's Find feature to locate possible modules to use. You can filter the list down to contain just the version of Drupal (e.g. version 6) first at the top of the page.

There are a variety methods of having images within content in Drupal (as in, inserted wherever you want within the text of a page). Each way has various pros and cons (there's a goal among the image-related module developers to have image-handling built into Drupal core by version 7). These are the ways I'm familiar with, though there could be even more, since new Drupal modules come out all the time. Also not all are compatible with Drupal 6 yet.

  • IMCE module (treats images as normal "files" and lets you organize them in directories... it can also create various thumbnail or other scaled image versions... its user interface isn't perfect but it's among the more understandable ones for users of the site... it can show actual previews of the images you insert into the content when using some WYSIWYG editors such as TinyMCE and FCKeditor... it also can integrate with the HTML editor BUEditor... with IMCE you can insert an unlimited number of images within the content of a page).
  • Image module paired with the included Image Attach module or else the Image Assist module (Image module treats images as "nodes" that can be searched, commented on, etc, and creates thumbnail and other sized images... Image module comes pre-packaged with the "Image Attach" module which lets you attach Image nodes onto other pages, however it only allows you to use a single image per page and thus is too basic for most people - instead you can add on the Image Assist module -instead of Image Attach- to handle inserting the images "within" the content of a page, and as many images per page as you want... its user interface is not ideal, though it does allow you to browse images by tags if you've tagged/categorized the images which is useful... it integrates with TinyMCE, FCKeditor, and maybe other editors as well... Image module also has a built-in basic image gallery feature... although Image Assist can place images within content on the page, it shows only "placeholder" shapes where the images will appear until you save the page)
  • Asset module (handles images as well as other media files and has a versatile number of options as well as one of the better user interfaces... it can create alternate image sizes using the popular ImageCache module... it integrates with TinyMCE editor, though I don't believe any others yet... it shows image examples directly within the editor... it's also not Drupal 6 compatible yet)
  • Inline module (uploads images as "file attachments" to a certain page, and uses special tags to place them within the content of the page... it is not as easy to use, and does not create alternate image sizes automatically for you)
  • Image Picker module (I have never tested this one yet, so cannot say if it works)

If you don't need images "within" content (but rather before, after, adjacent to, etc the text of the page) then the best solution is CCK and Imagefield module paired with ImageCache module.

OMFG.

As a beginner, I can't tell you how valuable this post is.

The Drupal site for new users is effectively broken.

I could be missing something big time, but figuring this out for begginner starting at the front page of Drupal.org seems impossible.

Thank you,
JM

but figuring this out for begginner starting at the front page of Drupal.org seems impossible.

As a new user to drupal, and especially a new user to internet/web technology in general (not that you are). I think it is important to give yourself time to digest the massive amounts of information you will get directed to during your stay at drupal.org.

The first area of interest for a new user (who already has drupal installed and the basics configured) is the documentation section. This area is under the documentation link at the top of ever drupal.org page. bookmark this page

Once there, click on the getting started link. This will become an important link for all new users. To be honest, it comes in handy as a seasoned drupal.org vistor as well. Not only do i use it to find answers for the new user, I find I use it for myself on occasion. On the inclued pages alone is a wealth of information. bookmark this page

an example: If I wanted to know something about a core module in drupal. I would click on the core modules link. This will provide you with a list of modules that ship with drupal core and an overview of functionality and features the core modules provide.

Another important area for a new user is the downloads area. This is also at the top of every page on drupal.org. As a new user, I'd probably find new modules by using the categories listing of the downloads area. This page/listing can be found by clicking on the Modules link on the downloads page. I now tend to sort by date, using the browse by date tab more often then not. When you sort by date, the modules with recent updates are listed. After checking this on a regular basis, you begin to see a pattern of the most actively developed modules as well as new modules being released.

Yes there are a lot of modules. Yes it can be difficult to know which one to choose to work with. What I do in this case is follow a best practice. I test modules on a test installation. There are many ways to create a test installation. Sometimes, I use a subomain off the main domain of my site on the production server so I have access to it no matter where I am. Other times I build on my home machine. On these test sites, I can test modules and test themes without fear of breaking stuff. Because I know I will eventually break stuff and I don't want to break stuff on my production sites. It on this test site that I test the modules I "may" want to use. I compare features and such of similar modules. If I break stuff on a test site. I wipe it out and start again. 

That's all I have time for at moment. I may return to add to this in the near future. As I eluded in the beginning of this comment, as a new user it is important to take the time to digest the information available. Having a grand idea is ... well .... grand. Deciding to implement that grand idea is ... Awesome!. Taking the time to realize the need of crawling before you walk and walking before you run ..... priceless.

Thanks for the compliment. I am converting this post into a more detailed Documentation page. You can view the work-in-progress version at http://www.davidnewkerk.com/book/35
It will be added to Drupal.org when complete. As with all my tutorials, please please please view them and add comments to the page to point out areas that are unclear, especially from a beginner's point of view. There is a current outline of some of the image modules in the handbook (which to be honest I can't even find after several minutes of digging), but I feel it is substantially out of date, and insufficient for beginner's to understand.

There is, indeed, "too much" choice in the area of images in Drupal, and unfortunately no clear winner in every scenario - so that does make things more complicated. Fortunately the past number of months has seen a lot of image-related module developers banding together. I am looking forward to see how images will be handled in Drupal core in Drupal 7, and how the functionality will be expanded on top of that central system by contributed modules.

I wrote a case study today, pretending to be a new Drupal user trying to figure out how to add images to my new Drupal site:
