  Excuse my ignorance, I am a complete technophobe but really need to do a blog
  for the charity I am involved with so other people can see what we do. It involves
  trips to Africa and I have some great photos but need to know how many photos
  I can fit onto a wordpress blog so I can work out how many to choose from each
  category.

  Hope someone can help.

  You have 3 GBs of storage with a free WordPress blog.
  Properly sized and compressed you can have many thousands of pictures. On my own blog there are now 3,667 pictures and I still have 93.1% storage space left!

  Use an image editor: PhotoShop, Elements, or one online. Reduce the photos to the width you want (no wider than your theme allows), compress the files, then upload to posts.

  Without a link to your site I don’t know which theme you are using, but here is a guide to theme widths:
