    I am kinda new to the site and I just got approved for my first story so I was just curious how to add images, I want to put my best foot forward with my first attempt.

    I have tried using an image hosting site, copying the link into my draft story, but it just appears as text.

    Any help?

    Use the following:

    ![](your.image.link.here)

    Make sure you use the direct image link, which should end in a file extension like .jpg or .png.
     
    Kineticat and gene.sis like this.

    In addition, sometimes if you get the image from a wikia site it’ll add a bunch of stuff at the end of the url, just delete the stuff from the extension onward for example if it ends in .jpg=pageview69 or something you would delete the =pageview69 bit. You want the extension to be the last thing in the url basically otherwise it may not show up properly.
