Picture help!

plunkybugOk, so I got a digital camera for Christmas present. It is nice and small and light, and a great first camera for me, even if I don't know how to use all the settings, but the pictures are a heck of a lot better than my VGA cameraphone. But, how do I get my nice new shiny picture to the internetz to show all you wonderful folk what I have been up to?
In the past, I would email myself the picture from the phone, and download to the desktop from my mail program, then attempt to upload to Scrapbook. Scrapbook was so hit and miss though, and most of my pictures would not upload right. I had the little "?" where the thumbnail should have been. I asked around, to other users that run OSX and use Safari and/or Firefox, and no one seemed to report the same problems. I tried it again when I upgraded from my GhettoBook to Chas' old G4 iBook, and no change. I was told about Flickr, and having a Yahoo! account, it seemed logical to go that route. I did a few tests, and it was sufficient for my needs, even it it got a little tedious at times.
Now, with my digital camera, I don't have to email myself, as I can just plug in and transfer the pictures into iPhoto. Great! But how do I get them from iPhoto to Flickr? I could email them to Flickr, but I don't know how many I can email or if I would have to break it up into multiple sessions, or I could look into a plug-in for iPhoto to work with Flickr. Such programs exist, but I have no idea which is a good one or how easy they might be, and whether there is a free one that is as good as one I would have to pay for. Can any of my photographic Mac family help me on this? Of course, I do have a .Mac account and I can easily make a webpage with them, but I have a habit of making pictures of me private when I can...call it paranoia. I'd rather use my Flickr account anyhow. At least in this case because the pictures are not all that great for the most part. :P
I ask for this help as I have some pictures from Christmas Day and the New Years weekend in Asheville, to go with an update as well. :)
