...2 things:
1- Bookmark this thread; the DU bookmark link is under the REC button of your OP. Your bookmark page is available through the "My Bookmarks" link at the top right of every page.
2- Use it. Post a picture just like you've done from the instructions the other folks gave here. If your looking for post fodder, check APOD now and then.

Use some of your own shots to practice. I sometimes capture part of a web page like the CDC cases in the US graph using the windows Snipping Tool. Then save it to my PC. Then upload it to https://imgbb.com/ and add the link to a DU post.

If I try to start a discussion, how can I add an image to my original post? [View all] RussellCattle Jul 2020 OP

Here's a DU thread that might be useful Glorfindel Jul 2020 #1

Thank you for your quick reply. I've bookmarked this and will give it a try. RussellCattle Jul 2020 #3

See the first post billh58 Jul 2020 #2

Thank you. I'm working on it. RussellCattle Jul 2020 #4

My mistake. This is an image in my phone/camera, so it doesn't have a URL address. ?????? RussellCattle Jul 2020 #5

You need to upload the pic billh58 Jul 2020 #15

You need to upload it to an image hosting site. I use Imgur.com JHB Jul 2020 #16

OK - I'm slowly starting to get this, The thread from 2012 is helpful. Forgive me.... RussellCattle Jul 2020 #6

If an image is online, you need to copy the image address, not the actual image or image link. forgotmylogin Jul 2020 #7

Let's see if this works...... RussellCattle Jul 2020 #8

OK - It's still an address. I can work with that. Look for a new discussion coming up... RussellCattle Jul 2020 #9

On imgur you have to select the address with the .jpg or .png or whatever extension cayugafalls Jul 2020 #10

Just click on the image in your gallery and then copy the direct link from the popup. cayugafalls Jul 2020 #11

Thanks - I think I understand. My post will have the image directly, not just an address? RussellCattle Jul 2020 #12

You can edit your OP and try to remove the gallery/ from the image and add .jpg cayugafalls Jul 2020 #13

My goodness, I just did just that, and it worked! Cayuga, thanks for your help. Between the four.... RussellCattle Jul 2020 #14
