    My reason for creating this post is to hopefully raise awareness of the following script. A couple stories use images to enhance their story, that I have seen. That is awesome, I believe.

    Yet, they simply give the reader a URL to follow for the image. I imagine a number of readers avoiding clicking on links in a story, for security reasons. There are others though, time for instance, or maybe more common the fear that it will lead to some porn site that wants you to pay membership dues.

    However, there is script that solves that. Use the following text to implant an image into a stitch {post}:
    Code:
    ![description]( ReplaceWithURL “description”)
    Such as:
    Code:
    ![{alpha} {beta}]( https://i.imgur.com/QKEd2sR.jpg “{alpha} {beta}”)
    NOTES
    1. This text only works in a stitch, instead of as a comment. I think that goes for all markdown text formatting commands.
    2. The default dimensions encoded in the image are used. Paint.NET is a free program that you can use to edit dimensions of an image.
    3. This only works if the server that the image is hosted on allows for leaching the image to use elsewhere. Such as www.imgur.com, photos.google.com, www.photobucket.com, et cetera as I am positive there are many others that allow this. My example is of using www.imgur.com but I am unware of any advantage that it has over any of the others I know about. Maybe someone else does?
    4. Whether or not, Friedman or Mr. B, intended this script to work is beyond my knowledge. I admit ignorance primarily, because I have yet to see anyone else either use the script or mention it in comments, or in this forum... not that I have seen everything, though.
