You know you can upload directly from your hard drive to you tread and then publish? You don't necessarily have to link images already on-line to your tread...

Moving images from phone to desktop is a different process on most systems, but if you're using Google on your phone, you have access to a cloud drive where you can move your images and access them whenever you log into Google on any platform.
You could also click on the image in imgur and then save to your computer. Two finger click on Mac, not sure about Windows.
Then upload to VLJ. That is better than linking because more permanent.
