11. For du to show the actual photo instead of the link address

the photo should be either a .gif or .jpg (there are a few others). jpg are the best. Make sure the link you copy ends in .jpg... often links from a google search will have the search criteria appended to the end of the link address

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiq3MeL04LlAhWLvp4KHQgTC_4QjRx6BAgBEAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMountain&psig=AOvVaw3beYpvvZ4FysAlo90snD7i&ust=1570280025791958

so clicking on the "copy image address" and then opening a new tab or window often reveals the true .jpg address of just the photo you want in your post
