Ok. Here is the deal. I'm going to teach you how to post pictures and URL's. Scroll down to see my tips for park making.

Anyway...

This Bar Is Your Friend

To post pictures you click the 'IMG' Button. A box will pop up and you will need to enter the address of the picture. Then, automatically, the picture will come up like this on the posting box:

[IMG]http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/8352/tutorial9mm.png[/IMG]

Next, if your image exceeds the limit of 600x400, you need to link it. IF you want to jazz up the link click the 'http://' button. A new box will pop up that will have you insert the address. Then, after you do that, click 'OK', then another box will pop up. It will say something along the lines of 'Insert Title of Webpage'. Type in what you call the picture or whatever and click 'OK'. Then on the posting box it will say something like:

[url=http://www.picturehere.whatever]The New URL Goes Here[/url]

Then VIOLA!! It's magic!

Here are some great links for some tips on park making.

Coaster Making Tutorial

I'm not the greatest parkmaker. That’s Six Frags, X250, Xophe, Ultratycoon, Mama Bear, and a few others’ job, but I can still hold my own when it comes to a bit of detail and building making. I am more beginner/intermediate. But I know the ropes.

Instead of jumping right in and building parks, you need to pick a theme and plan your park. Six Frags made a good tutorial here. Even though it's RCT3D, it shows good planning and smart thinking. Then you need to practice. I started an Archy practice park, and built and built to get used to my new custom scenery which I got from downloading parks. vP parks are very useful and I strongly recommend you download Leviticus by X250, Billerica Bay by Xophe, and Utrecht, Dwaze Domstad by Emergo. Next, make a small 50x50 and practice some basic landscaping, foliage use, coaster placement, and archetecture. BUT DO NOT POST IT IN THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE

Another thing is inspiration. This means using others work as a base, but not copying it. It also can mean by seeing tohers work, you are inspired to try new things. But usually, your work comes out a bit like theirs. For example:
