Creating your first post

Step-by-step guide to publishing a piece using an external image URL.

Posting is linking. Upload the image to your own host first, copy its direct URL, then create the post here.

  1. Upload your artwork to your own server, S3-style bucket or image host.
  2. Copy the direct file URL — it should end in .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif or .webp.
  3. Press New post in the header.
  4. Paste the URL and wait for the pre-flight check to turn green.
  5. Add a title, description and tags.
  6. Pick a category: Gallery for finished work, Scraps for sketches and WIPs.
  7. Set the SFW/NSFW toggle honestly, then publish.

A page URL (like a gallery page or a Google Drive viewer link) will not work. You need the URL of the image file itself.
