:dancing-banana:Good question! How do you make a link from something else on-line to CI? Maybe Matthew should run a tutorial for the technologically challenged!

First, you have to open an account with photobucket.com or some other file sharing site and upload the picture to that site - if the picture you want to post is not already on the internet.

The file sharing site will give you a link to your picture.

Copy that link.

To actually post the picture, click on the box that says URL in it and you will get a little pop up window - paste the link in the pop up window.

That's about it.

So for someone who avoids "social sharing" sites like the plague there is no other option? I can't upload one from my computer? I don't want to post a "link" to a photo, I want to have the picture appear in this box along w/my comments.

Thanks, Stubborn. You lost me after the first sentence, but since I never use social media, I'll continue living without posting links or photos.
