Its an app allowing you to upload it to a site and get an https address of the image in return. You then put that into your post and it will show up.

I'm somewhat tech challenged. All right, a lot!
Appreciate your assist. 👍

I'm trying to do it from my phone and can't right click.

I don't use any social media and avoid extra curricular technical stuff. I know just enuff to get by and do some damage. 😀

K.I.S.S. Keep it simple for me, sprink. 😤

How you? Be well. Love you.

I used to use Photobucket, learned how to do that from others on DU, but they don't allow sharing from there anymore which is very disappointing. The trick is to find a link that works, .jpg works best. And Photobucket also allowed you to edit the size, I always previewed mine to make sure that they came out okay. But I never learned how to do it from my phone, either.

And I don't use "social media" either except for Twitter. I learned about that on DU, too, but I only pass things along.

Since I saved all my pix there and I used it all the time. But they started charging an exorbitant fee and others on DU abandoned it too. If you look at old posts, the pix don't show up anymore.

When I first joined DU, there was a thread asking for pix of your pets. I said I didn't know how so some nice DUer offered to do it for me and taught me how to do it. I was always grateful to her and got pretty good at it, so it's been quite a disappointment that it's not available anymore.

However, others here are much better at it than I am, and there are other options which I should check out. It's just that I saved all my pix, including those of my pets, on Photobucket. *sigh*

Love you, too!

It [what I wanted to post] mb droll for some. I wanted to give it to a DUer that I've been communicating with for over a year. The wording on it struck me personally esp. coming from the hub. Who shows some profundity and sensibility at times.

Mb I'll post some others about aminals. We have a buddy who gets a duck family every year in the large flower urn on their front porch. It most likely is the same mama. He raises a crew every season. Nature's wunndrous!

If I don't get to it tonite, I'll take a crack at it tomorrow. I need to watch 'Eastenders' at eleven. Ta! 😉
