photo from your computer to there. Then you copy the embeded web address given to your photo there. And you paste that web address where you want the photo online (like the DU for instance). I can't think of a good one. Sometimes they cost money. Sometimes they don't.

That you can copy/paste into a DU post. It should start w/http and end with .jpg or .gif. Then DU can grab it from the web and display it.

You may have to make it 'public' in some way, I dunno, I've never used Apple or it's cloud service.

Alternatively you can upload it to an image hosting site like imgur or google photos or flickr and get a URL to the photo from there.

I will have to practice when DUers are sleeping in case I fuck up. Strike that. I will fuck up but that is called learning.
