I'm glad you can, Serenity. I can't. Ummm, one more thing I thought of. You need to be sure to paste the link to the picture, not a page with the picture on it. I always thought this was a bit difficult to understand. I had trouble with it myself on some picture website or other. If there is anything on the page, other than the photo, that's not it. It's been so long I can't even remember if the right link ends in a photo file type or a website location (i.e. '.jpg' or '.com'). You may have to fiddle it a little.
I've been clicking on the insert picture function. Fourth function from right hand side. I'm typing the url in but comes up blank or with a broken blank picture
Did you delete the text in the box before pasting the location?
Don't type anything. Right click and copy the "Image Location" from the actual full-sized photo; not from the thumbnail in your library. Then, paste it over the "http://" in the Insert Image box.
I don't think you can link to dropbox. Maybe you're using sources that have disallowed linking. Plus, that one looks like a preview--not the actual photo. And you left a space in the URL.
Yeah, dropbox seems to be crap. Won't let you do anything unless you are logged in. I think that is the same with Flickr. I know that - what was it called, "Photobucket"? used to work fine but you had to make sure the photos weren't set for private.
I think you've actually got it, S, with the blogspot. That looks like it would work fine. I'm guessing that twitter would, also but probably not instagram. They just never thought I site would be so cheap as to not allow members to post the photos directly, I guess.
