How I do pix in Dreamwidth

I'm not much of an HTML person.  There are probably half a dozen ways to do this other than the following but this is simple for me and seems to work. I created a free Flickr account specifically for this process.

1 - From Flickr, open a picture.
2 - At the bottom right select the share arrow icon.
3 - FIRST TIME ONLY (when you set the selections, the program remembers) Select 'Embed' from the top menu.  Change size to 'Small' (I've got 400 x 300).  
4 - Click on the result in the window to turn it blue and copy.
5 - Back on Dreamwidth, go to Post.
 
From here are choices.  What I do is:
Add verbiage in the 'Rich Text' mode until I want to paste the picture.  Then click on the 'HTML' tab, position at the end of the text where I want the picture to be and paste what I copied from Flickr.
 
Repeat as necessary.
 
Check in preview to be sure I didn't screw it up.
