Today is technology Tuesday which is the day I get to share with you what I think about some of the technology that I use to make what I do easier.  Today I wanted to let you know about Imgur.

IMGUR – The Simple Image Sharer

I found out about Imgur a few months ago when I was trying to figure out how to upload a graphic for use in my email.  Due to the way my email service at the time Aweber (which I will never recommend in a zillion years) was working, it was difficult to include an image in the email without a lot of difficulty.  Then I found Imgur.

Just as Imgur’s tagline says, it is a very simple way to share images.  What I like about Imgur is that you don’t even have to have an account to use it, but if you want to set up an account, it’s free and very easy to do so.

Imgur offers numerous tools that you can use that work with it, and if you’re tech savy you can add your own tools also.

There is also an extensive gallery of pictures that are uploaded by other users and even a sidebar that shows “best captions” from the day.  Since it’s totally fun to see a picture and caption it…wouldn’t you agree?

Here’s a picture of Golden Girl, Betty White, with her other Golden Girl buddies.  You may see the captions people used for this picture here.

Imgur also offers a paid membership, which you would never even know about unless you search intentionally for it or find it accidentally like I did.  The paid membership allows you more space for your pictures.  Click here to learn more about the premium membership.

What I like about Imgur the best is that when you upload an image to their platform, they give you numerous options to share your image with others, or to use for your website, blog or email.  Here’s a screen shot of the different options.

I also find using Imgur great especially when you are using another platform that may require you to use a picture but they don’t give you access to share your picture.

I highly recommend checking out their website today, and get yourself acquainted with Imgur.  It has saved me many headaches and provided a place where I can store screenshots and other images that I may use frequently, and all for free.

Share: Have you used Imgur – share? What other image sharing places would you recommend?  Leave a comment.

Stacy Lynn Harp, M.S. is the Founder & President of Active Christian Media, an organization originating from Orange, California. Stacy has been involved in the fight for the pre-born for over twenty years, and in recent years has spent time advocating for strong marriages between one man and one woman, politically being involved in both the Prop. 22 and Prop 8 campaigns.



She is extremely passionate about educating Christians about what is going on in society from a complete biblical worldview. Despite her training as a marriage and family therapist, Stacy believes that the answers are in the Word of God, not psychology. In early 2010 after completing over 3000 hours of clinical training, Stacy made the decision to not become a licensed marriage and family therapist because she could not compromise her biblical convictions and values and submit to the secular state counseling associations.



As a result, Stacy has a vision to bring Active Christian Media to the next level, with great media content, video programming, apologetics resources, prophecy updates and so much more.



Stacy has appeared as a guest on Changing Worldviews with Sharon Hughes, Faith 2 Action with Janet Porter, Take a Stand with Adam McManus, the Susanne La Frankie Show, Concerned Women for America show and the popular Fox News TV show Dayside.



Stacy has also blogged for the The Voice of the Martyrs Persecution blog for over 6 years and works with Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt in exposing religious persecution that is taking place in America and abroad, through the Pray in Jesus Name Project.



Stacy has also been a guest speaker at numerous events, including the 2005 and 2006 GodBlogCon – which was spearheaded by Hugh Hewitt and the American Christian Schools International conference speaking on the subject of online safety and numerous counseling centers training professional therapists about online safety. She has also been invited to cover national events such as Justice Sunday III (Family Research Council), the first Blogs4Life, Future Quest Youth Conference and more.



Stacy earned a Masters of Science in clinical psychology from Vanguard University of Southern California, and an undergraduate degree in Human Development from Hope International University.



Stacy is available to speak at women’s events, bible studies and conferences. Stacy has been married over 19 years to her husband Randall and lives in Orange County.
