Dumb question - how do you easily insert a photo/image inline with writing text in a post?

when i try to insert an image, i click the 'image' button in the upper buttons zone above the posting space ... but then it asks me for a ’url’...

let's say i have an image in my google drive, or even on my computer local drive...

in my basic e-mail apps, you can attach an image with an ’attach’ button, which a-gon doesn’t provide, or even easier, just ’copy’ and then ’paste’ an image in between blocks of typed text...

i am not the most computer savvy person... any assistance would be gratefully received... :)

Got it. But who's the guy with the boot?

For image posting you need an address of the image to copy and that means going to a site that has a URL address. Using your own photos on your desktop or hard drive won't work. 

I use imgpile to hold/store my pictures, photos and what have you, using their image address. The site is free and easy enough to figure out. Once there, all you need to do is right click the image, select copy image address, and use that URL to post to the image icon (URL address) from above.

After that, you can fiddle with the size until you're satisfied and then post.

All the best,
Nonoise
