I suggest a working image upload button from photos instead of links for both the link button and image button, so that original art can be photographed and shown without having to put it on a site just to make a link. I also did not appreciate that when people could not share their images when prompted to share their art that a developer just responded "lol". Please fix for others even if I may not feel inspired to share any more photos of my oil paintings.

Foul precurrer of the fiend,
Augur of the fever's end,
To this troop come thou not near!

Here the anthem doth commence:
Love and constancy is dead;
Phoenix and the turtle fled
In a mutual flame from hence.

So between them love did shine,
That the turtle saw his right
Flaming in the phoenix' sight;
Either was the other's mine.

Threnos (eulogy):
'Beauty, truth, and rarity,
Grace in all simplicity,
Here enclosed in cinders lie.

To the phoenix and the dove,
Co-supremes and stars of love,
As chorus to their tragic scene.

Leaving no posterity:
'Twas not their infirmity,
It was married chastity.

Truth may seem, but cannot be:
Beauty brag, but 'tis not she;
Truth and beauty buried be'
.

You can upload pictures to tinypic.com and copy the url from there.

Will it appear as a picture in my post, or as a link? I did basically the same thing by uploading my photo to Google photos and copying the link, but it shows in my post as a link, not an opened picture. It is hard to share art when people see a link. They'll just keep scrolling past it. Visuals right there shouldn't be hard to have, it's standard.

I tried tinypic and my upload kept failing. The code I needed was sponsored by someone I don't trust and said my code was always wrong, and I hope I don't get a virus. I still think an upload button directly on WP is a good idea. For sharing some things when prompted, like artwork and the crafts topic that was suggested. You'd pretty much have to take a picture of crafts. Maybe arts and crafts aren't enough of an interest.

Never mind, I was successful in getting an image by sharing my photo to goo.glephotos as an album option, then right-clicked directly on the picture and opened it in a new window. From there I right-clicked again to copy and then paste into the link field, and got an image even though it is https and not http. The sizing tag is attached to top border but I don't care; it's probably because the link isn't precisely http://with file name. Another discussion says this is required for it to come out right (image separate from tag). Well it helps if everyone with the same issues looks at the same thread. :D Also I can see how it could make the site "safer" if people can't upload directly from photos.
