Imgur

Imgur can be used to host images (backgrounds, thumbnails, etc.) that are referenced in a WebЯcade feed.

To host an image in Imgur, perform the following steps (registering with Imgur is optional):

  • Click the "New Post" button in the upper-left corner of the page (see screenshot below).

  • Drag or select the image to upload (see screenshot below).

  • Right-click on the newly uploaded image and select "Open image in new tab" from the context menu (see screenshot below).

  • Select and copy the image URL from the browser's navigation bar (see screenshot below).

Example

The following is an example of a simple webЯcade feed that contains the thumbnail image that was uploaded to Imgur in the steps detailed above.
