Thanks Barney. But, I'm still stuck. I've failed to learn how to move my photo from my iphone into my computer. Back to basics. I'll find a local to teach me that, and get back to you.

All you have to do is use your charging cable to link your phone to your computer.
Your phone will show up as a drive with a few folders in it. Your photos are in there.

C-D, I might be misunderstaning the problem, but Genie just emails her phone photos to herself or to me right from her phone as an attachment and we open the email on our Laptop. Seems too simple??

Or, attach the phone directly to the LT/PC with a cord, and the phone acts like an external storage drive. Transfer the photo or data direct.

I'm not a techie, so am not aure how a direct transfer works or if you need a specific cord or app to perfom the transfer.

I tried the charging cable, as suggested. I could not make it work. After doing a little research, I've concluded that in order to achieve my goal, the image that I want to insert into my post,.....has to first exist in a bonafide hosting site....like IMGUR. I'm guessing it's because each image needs its own URL.
So, at this point I need to ask for confirmation, or rejection. Sorry, for not understanding IMGUR when it first appeared on this forum. I had actually tried IMGUR, but never could learn how to join.
BTW one or two of the images that I want to post are modifications of some diagrams that I borrowed from Google. I took pictures of them with my iphone. I'm going to try texting one to my wife's iphone.

Email the photo from your phone to your Gmail, or whatever hosts your private email.

Go to browswer on your phone, pull up your PC or LT email page on the browser, attach photo to email, send email to yourself. Open email on PC or LT and save attachment to a folder on PC or LT.

That's how we do it - we have Android and T- Mobile.

You might need an app on or set up your phone to attach photo to email. Maybe a tech on here can tell us.

I suspect that a part of the reason there are fewer and fewer posts has to do with how slowly one gets a response to questions here. That other social media forum gets virtually instant access to answers and that’s what most of us are interested in.
I’m as guilty as anyone in dragging my feet to respond. Heck I even have found answers to my questions on the other site before I even got the question typed!
As far as crabs go I don’t think anyone has called me one and if they have I don’t really care!

I was more ignorant than I let on. I'm not a person that uses their smart phone for "everything". The way I've been sending photos is by texting. So,...it looks like I need to learn how to set it up for browsing.

I'm pretty tech dumb myself ... my wife set this up. And it seems one click adds the photo to your email, as long as your email is set on your phone. Then you just send yourself email with photo attached. It must be fairly easy to do, because Genie is not a techie either but she uses her phone a lot more than me, and connects with her art groups and the kids and grandkids.

Me, I answer it when it rings if I recognize the number, if not, wait for a message. IF no message, no return call. And, I use the phone camera very seldom ...

She's not here at the moment. But when she returns, I'll ask her directly, and ask our daughter too ... We have Android, daughter has iPhone ... we'll see if it's different. Stay tuned ??

I'm surprised one of the tech smart guys hasn't jumped in to explain this in better detail.

Let's see if I can explain how to post pics using an iPhone:

Clicks Here

You should see this:

Click "Or Select"
You should see this:

Click "Photo Library"
Now you should see your pics:

Select the pic you want to post and click Done at the lower right

You should see this:

This one can take some time. Wait until you see this:

Highlight the displayed code in the box and copy it.
Then go to the post you want to place it in and paste it:

I hope this helps someone.
I had to borrow my wife's iCrack to do this. I'm Android guy as well.
