what users need is very simple: a one click "browse" button and a one click "upload" button. Drupal would then position the image in a uniform location relative to the post body and teaser, and either resize the image to uniform dimensions, or inform the user that they need to resize it in an image editor.
We have done exactly this --
We use imagefield and imagecache, and a select field (with two values; image on the left/image on the right).
The user creates their content, specifies whether they want the image on the left or the right, and then they browse to the image, and hit submit.
A function in the tpl.php files positions the images according to the select box (on right/on left), and we add some divs to allow us to put a border around the image as needed.
See http://www.osbhcn.org/membership for a page created using this technique.
With that said, for some situations, this technique won't work (ie, someone wants to have four images on a page, all paired with specific text). For that situation, I'd probably recommend a tinymce/imce based solution, supported by a good screencast training video that users can access via the node/add form
What do you mean - doesn't everyone agree that this is the most intuitive way ?
scp -r imagefolder/ user@example.com:link_to_image_folder/
This is also *my* preferred way -- simple, direct. What's not to love :)
Cheers,
