Like a miracle

Welcone. Now for your 102 class try to post a picture from your cell phone. If you figure it out let me know how. :)

The image I posted above I did from my iPhone.

I did this by searching for "Jason Nolf" from Google. I clicked on images to get images of Jason. I found one I liked and clicked on it. I then pressed and held down on the photo to get the menu on the iPhone and selected "open image in new tab."

That opened just the image, a direct URL of it. I held down on the URL in the URL bar and copied the URL. Then when posting here I clicked the "insert photo" button and where it asks for the URL I pasted the URL in.

There you go.

I work in IT if you're wondering, so this stuff is easy for me to figure out.

EDIT - I use Chrome for the web browser on my iPhone. Safari may have a similar option to open images in a new tab, though.

A useful way to think about it is that Rivals only accepts images that look like ...

This is correct. Rivals will not host images (it will take up server space) so they only allow you to LINK to images that are hosted elsewhere (a URL). Images that are on your computer or phone cannot be accessed by people here because we don't have access to your computer or phone and you can't upload them to Rivals to host because server space costs money.
 
Speaking of miracles, a classic of stupidity ... "F-in' magnets, how do they work?" (1:50).

 
I must admit that the first two-three Jefferson Starship albums (when some of the leftovers from the Airplane were still in the band) are guilty pleasures of mine. Earth is an especially good album.

Dragonfly (the first album from this configuration) was great and Marty Balin's contribution ("Caroline") to Dragonfly was probably his best on any of the albums. Then he had a hit with that cheesy "Miracles" and tried to recreate it every time out after that. I never liked "Miracles" and liked the attempts to follow up on its success even less.

Can't disagree with any of that (except Miracles is a good song :) ).
