posting pictures

Okay, so I've gone over the FAQs relating to posting pictures, and I cannot figure out how to do it. I've tried using my Instagram account to no avail. I've googled 'how to import pictures on dreamwidth' and couldn't find a satisfactory answer.

So please, if you can, can you show me or list the steps (one by one) on how you post a picture on Dreamwidth?

Instagram seems to be deliberately being a pill. In most cases you can just hot link it. Right click the image, click copy image location (or address depending on your browser) and put it in the "image from url" field on the form that pops up when you hit insert image in a new post or in the quotes after img src=""/ in brackets <>
