11. A couple of ways. When you want to post online images, you can

either

1. highlight/copy/paste a URL of a photo/site image/pic in your DU post -- then before posting, hit 'preview' to see if DU opens the photo/site page image/pic with the URL alone (You can tell in advance that some URLs aren't intended to open when you see "static" or "encrypted" in the address). ANYway...
if the URL doesn't open on DU, then

2. use imgur.com's site to copy a photo. How to do that:
a) make a screenshot of the photo here, then
b) drag the screenshot from your desktop to this imgur window (the left side of box on https://imgur.com/upload), then click 'copy link';
wait until it says "Upload complete!", then right click the image you dragged to create that in a new imgur window tab
c) click on that tab, highlight/copy/paste imgur's new URL, to post and preview to see if that worked.
Imgur image URLs should work where other URLs won't.
