I am on Chrome and did as instructed (I think) but I just get my link showing, not the photo itself!

(I think the link I posted is from a photo-hosting site.)

What I generally do.
Upload the image to imgbb.com


Then I get the full linked HTML. AND I copy and paste the whole thing, but delete anything but stuff between https through jpg after src="
(see note)

So, the example above is https: //i.ibb.co/fDkGc0y/Tex.jpg. where I broke it up with a white space so you can see the URL, and not get another dog.

It's not pretty but I find something that works and use it before experimenting.
If anyone has a shorter way of using imgbb.com, speak up.
sometimes "It just works" is OK enough.

HTH
note: It's actually hard for me to copy just part of that URL. So copy the whole thing and delete excess.
