If you can't put images on through this website, then I'm afraid you'll have to do it the long way. This is good though, sort of, because the images can be as big as you want them to be when you do it this way. If you don't want to do it this way, there's another similar way down the bottom.

First Way
1. First of all you need to make sure you have the image saved on to your computer.
2. Secondly, go to an image hosting website, like Image Shack or Photobucket. They keep images on the internet for you for free.
3. Make an account there and upload the image from your computer on to the internet.
4. Now that it is on the internet, copy and paste the Image URL (right click on the image, and go to properties. It should be next to something along the lines of "Image Location: www.example.com/example5.jpeg". Don't worry about what is after the Image Location, just copy it by highlighting it and pressing CTRL and C.
5. Go on to Choose Your Story (or My Adventure Game, whichever you are using).
If you can see the "Source" Button while writing your storygame, don't follow steps 6, and 7a. If you can't access the "Source" button, then follow all steps except 7b.
6. Right now you're probably using the Rich Text Editor, which has all the fonts and "Bold" buttons etc. at the top. You'll need to change it to the Basic Text Box. You can do this by clicking on the links on the side of the website.
My Stuff > Account > Use Rich Text Editor > Untick Box > Update My Account and Profile
Don't worry, you can change back to the Rich Text Editor later.
7a. Now, go to your storygame.
7b. Click on "Source".
8. Type in <image src="IMAGE LOCATION THAT YOU HAVE COPIED HERE"> in and finish up. The image should be there.

Second Way
The second way is basically the same, but instead of uploading your own image on to the internet, you can go to almost any image on the internet and right click it and copy the Image Address and then just continue from step 5. Hope this helps.

I don't know if alexp (one of the heads of the site) is working on something for Mac Users, but all I can suggest at the moment is an alternative way. Good on you for asking though.
