Nor am I going to try posts with images. What a palaver! The last post was really painful, and took me the best part of an afternoon. I tried to create it offline with ecto - and though the images uploaded alright, they didn't actually display in Elgg, because of the special image syntax. That somewhat did for my custom Javascript to display the full-size images in popup windows.
Don't get me wrong, Elgg's a great piece of software (though fix the Metaweblog API bugs!), but it's not the best blogging platform for incorporating images directly into posts. No platform I've come across is that good, I have to say. It'd pretty much be a show-stopper at Ravensbourne, though.
