FAQ:

What are HTML and BCC?

They're two types of internet coding that allow you to change the appearance and feel of any website. Both use TAGS in order to do this. In short:
HTML uses

Code:: <tag>INFO</tag>

the majority of the time
while BCC uses

Code:: [tag]INFO[/tag]

As you can see both are pretty similar and most questions will be answered hopefully in the following Q&A.

How do I get my images up?

It's quite simple really. You can use an image hosting site such as Photobucket or Tinypic to get your pictures onto the internet. You can then use either HTML or BCC code to get your images onto the site. Just paste the web link where indicated when you use the code.

Code:: <img src="ENTER URL HERE">

[img]ENTER URL HERE[/img]

How do I get Videos up?
While Photobucket does host videos, it's usefull to look at Youtube and Vimeo as both of these are free video hosting sites too.
All these sites should give you the coding to embed your video and this is usually in HTML

Code:: <embed width="600" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" allowNetworking="all" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid22.photobucket.com/albums/b339/omegacamics/digitalbird.flv">

As you can see, it's pretty busy in there so it's best to just accept the code and not try to change anything unless you know what you're doing.

How do I upload music?

You can upload music at fileden.com or snapdrive.com or ripway.com
You may have to create an account first but it doesn't cost anything. Then they will give you the url to the song. If you really want to know how to embed music then there's a billion ways to try and do it. I do have a piece of simple stuff that can work though:

Code:: <embed src="MUSIC URL HERE"
height="60"
width="145"
autostart="false"
loop="true"
width="0"
height="0">
</embed>
