Hi Angela!
You need to host your picture on an online server. Many people use Imgur or even Facebook can do so.
When that photo is hosted, you copy the image address over.
For example:

Without the stars gives me this:

It's been a sad day since photo bucket left. I can't get photos to work. I don't have anything but apps so Facebook won't work for me.

Other apps/sites you can use for photo hosting (I do try to stay away from Facebook as I feel like the pictures go away after a bit. I hate link rot):
Tumblr
Discord
Flickr
Imgur
Deviantart/Sta.sh
ImgBB
