Please help. Old CAPTIONer can't remember how to put an image from Google into post.

Like several others, I have started entertaining, creative CAPTION threads on DU of-and-on for probably a dozen years. Especially when the nuts (O'Reilly et al.) are making their nut.

So now seems a good time, but I can't remember how to get copy the picture from Googl Images onto a post to begin a creative CAPTION.

Any help?

(You can check out my folder for an example of my OPs.)

Go to Google, click on the image you want, choose "view image" and paste that URL into a post.

However, this is actually linking to someone else's image. If you want to post your own image, you need to copy the image to an image hosting site (like photobucket) and then link to it there.

I think I have got it.

I'll try to do some. (Sort of the comics section of General Discussion.)

By the way, my folder (click on my picture in the post) has hundreds of past CAPTIONS. Unfortunately none from my Bush-Cheney CAPTIONing heyday. (Maybe they're somewhere?)
