Is there a way I can post an accompanying photo with piece?

My poetry and art work go hand in hand. Is there a way to post both together? trekker

Most of my work has an accompanying art work. How do I post both together? Is it possible?

There is not currently an official way, but you can always use the "Last Few Words" space or a comment to link us to a copy of the photo. Just save the photo somewhere that has trustworthy storage or photo hosting such as Google Drive (https://drive.google.com) or Tiny Pic http://tinypic.com/, then copy and paste the link to the image.

If you already have the photo somewhere like Flickr or Facebook, you should also be able to get a link for us from those platforms.

Let me know if you need any specific instructions on any of these methods and I'd be happy to help,

PS: I did this for my poem, "Matthew" so you can see kind of how it would look: https://www.neopoet.com/workshop/poems/matthew

The image is listed in "Last Few Words" but also on a comment here: https://www.neopoet.com/comment/148531#comment-148531

Honestly, now that I'm looking at it again, posting the link in a comment the first time around is probably the best option, because it will automatically make the link into a link (blue, clickable, with an underline), but it doesn't do so in the "Last Few Words" section.

Thank you for the advice, and by the way I loved your poem. Just one more question as this guy is not a computer savvy kind of guy. Would I be able to refer readers to my Instagram site and would it be safe? Thanks again,

Yes, Instagram would be totally perfect! I just mentioned trustworthy because there are some scammy websites out there that you might have stumbled upon if you didn't already have a social media or storage account.

With Instagram when you go to the photo you would like to share, there should be a little ellipsis/ three dot symbol either near your username or below the photo. When you click that, there should be an option to "Copy Link" and that's what you need to copy and paste here on Neopoet.
