How to include a photo in a post? - Kari Ellen - 05-05-2014
I have some photos I'd like to put in a post. When I try the "insert image" button, it asks for a URL. I do have a Shutterfly account, but when I tried to practice with one of my photos there, it didn't work. How do I do this? Thanks!

When you right-click on the picture you would like to upload, a menu should open with an option of "View Image". That's going to open a new tab/window with the picture itself, and the URL that it gives you in the address-bar is what you have to put into the "Insert Image" box.
It's possible that it's just Shutterfly refusing to cooperate, I've never used it before so I'm not sure; What I do, personally, is add the pictures to a private album on Facebook (Set it to viewing-privileges: yourself only) and then put them up from there, if that's an option for you?

It's super easy from phone using Tapatalk app. I've done it from the computer- but the pic has to be public for it to work, I think. Maybe change a setting at shutterfly, or try picasa (Google +) or something else?

PhotoBucket is an easy option, too.

Okay! I poked around on Shutterfly a bit more, and am trying this link to my dh and dd from a snowball fight last year. Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3, testing.

The link works, but if you want to include the photo in a forum post, you have to get its actual URL, like this:

Hey! How'd you do that?!?

Anyway, I made a "share site" at Shutterfly and put the photos on that, then included the link in my post--it's in the Bible forum under the CM Sunday School thread. That will work just as well…I think…
Thanks, everyone!

Just testing again...

Hmmm, that didn't work. I copied the website address for that photo at the top of my screen. What did you do, Phyllis, to get that photo into your post?
