I remember the days of posting pics on forums, I guess it’s pretty similar to here (haven’t tried posting pics to DW yet). You just need to find a good image host you feel comfy with, preferably one that automatically gives you the copy-paste code for html/markdown/bbc code when you upload the image and it’s pretty smooth sailing after that. Pretzelspaceship (Bea) recommended this one when I talked to her about it on Discord: https://imgbox.com/

Also, having w3schools or the markdown code tips page in browser bookmarks for easy access can help a lot too. If you use DW on mobile, you can even set up your keyboard to do a shortcut for html coding. For an example, when I type &shrug on my keyboard I set it up to give me this kaomoji —> ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I just set it up for myself “&img” turns to src=“IMAGE URL” alt=“ALT TEXT”> and “&links” turns to =“url” target=“_blank”>title< /a> Cool huh! (Removed some elements of the html so it doesn’t auto-format, the whole version in in my keyboard is complete)
