You can post pictures: POST PICTURES BY CLICKING THAT LITTLE "PICTURE" ICON ABOVE in the tool bar, and if you do not have that, then make sure you are in "compose" in upper right corner of this brown box. This pocture is myself with my daughter in 2008 mother's day.
You can post ideas:
Your group project, whatever the topic might be: Oil drilling, global warming, food industrialization, Iraq war veterans, etc, and ideas about this.
You can post links (Here you click on the little chainlink over the world icon next to the T with colors next to it uin the tool bar, and http://www.storyofstuff.com/ then copy band paste a link in the pop up windw and then hit ok and it comes here, HOT, so if you click on that, it will send you to that webpage.
