Image Hosting

I hope it's okay to post this here. Does anyone have a reliable and free image hosting site? I currently use Imgur but realised that if it goes the way of Photobucket, I don't have a reliable back up. I have signed up to Flickr but can't seem to figure out how to grab the images to use in my fics, etc.

Am I just being a dumb-ass? Is there a dummies guide anywhere please?

Yeah I want to use it on Livejournal, Dreamwidth and also on AO3. So I just use the long code they give me on Embed? Thank you, I will have a go when I've finished this latest chapter!!

And I have a dropbox but have never used it!

Okay then yes, paste the embed code in the HTML tab and you should be good o LJ and DW.

I'm not sure how this works with AO3 since I've never posted pics there, but I would think it should work the same way.

Scratch that - I think I figured it out. On AO3, click on the HTML and paste the embed code from Flikr. When you click back over to rich text, the photo will appear. YAY!

I love Dropbox - it's where I keep my writing since I can access it from anywhere. It's also great for backing up photos from your phone. LOL

I failed abysmally - my brain was just not up to it today. Will have another go tomorrow - thank you
