How do I cut and paste a picture to post it? I only seem to be able to post a pic by providing a link. Appreciate your help for a newbie!

(16,104 posts)Right-click over the photo. Hit 'copy' and it may draw up an https: that posts the picture - or you get that link.
Paste it to your DU post, see which comes up in 'preview.'
If you get that 'link' go back to original picture, right-click again and hit 'save picture as' to your desktop or wherever you save photos.
Once you have the picture, use this easy one: http://postimages.org/ .
Choose image of your photos, the next screen has an https: that lets you copy and paste to your DU post.

I haven't worried about sizing too much, the photos seem to fit most often.
I've never figured out how to get an "avatar" - I bet I could find better "yellow dogs" out there. My favorite:
