You need a url for your photo, so you'll need to get a free account at a photo hosting site Ocelot II Dec 2021 #1

like Postimages, https://postimages.org/ You can then upload your photo to that site, which will create a link for the photo that you can add to your post - and voila! Your photo will appear in your post.
