Help - I can't include pictures!

in #howto8 years ago

Experienced Steemians,

I am a newbie and have some good pictures to post for my introduction post, but Can't include pictures in the post. The picture icon on editor ask for a url - and I can't pick a picture stored on my computer, Also cannot copy images on to the editor.


I can imagine other users have similar issues too, am I missing something?

I can include  you videos ( on youtube)   as links though - using picture icon. 


Thanks a lot!

There are 2 options:

When submitting a post, currently it defaults to styling with "markdown" which uses a coding language.

Here is an example:

Or click on the word "Editor":

ex

to display this:

editor

Where you can click the image button.

Just paste the image url in Editor
You need to upload your images for that to a image host.

http://en.directupload.net/ for example

Example:

Hey Stella, welcome, I had the exact same problem.. I believe everyone is using imgsafe.org to get a url.

upload your image on https://imgur.com or https://postimage.org/
then use the link to your image as you did with youtube..
