Tasting Story with pictures - 5/5/2019 3:54:37 AM

I have seen others do a tasting story that includes pictures of the food. I input a story this weekend but was unable to figure out how to insert the pictures. I am not the most savy user of various apps but any help would be appreciated...

The key point to know is that you can't upload pictures to the CT site. You need to upload them somewhere else and then embed links to those pictures in your story here.

There are many free image hosting sites. I happen to use imgbb.com, but there are plenty of others.

And you use UBB syntax for embedding the URL to the picture.

Thanks for information...I implemented with the help of my son who works at Google... but very funny result. When I looked at it on the MacBook, where I worked on it all, it was fine. My son in San Jose, CA also saw it fine on his desktop, but there were no pics on the Mobile phone version, when I looked at it on my iPad in the mobile app, also no pics...via safari some pics (2) showed up and others were "blanked out" showing the word "image" and a box/picture frame with a "?" in it. Then when I looked at it on my PC desktop using MS Edge, I saw the same thing...?? When I used Google Chrome on the PC desktop it looked fine... I did use GooglePhotos to host the images, since I already had an account there and was familiar with it... I assume the mobile apps may not support the pictures, but the differences on the desktop browsers is a little perplexing... Thoughts? and thanks again...

Due to current security policies, the mobile apps won't show externally hosted pictures. It's something I'm aware of. As for the desktop, it looks like there are permissions issues loading your images. I'm unable to see most of them, and the URLs are returning a 403 error code (forbidden).
