Question

How do I get an URL without using the internet?

Community Answer

You don't. It is a uniform resource locator, used by browsers or applications over the internet. It identifies where something is located on the internet to take you to it. If you need it for coding, just put the directory it is in as your link address. It is ideal to put it inside the directory; the code is saved so you can just write the filename into your tags.

Question

Who can view images of my URL?

Community Answer

It depends how the server is configured. If the directory is private, then only authorized people can see it. If it is public, anyone can see it.

There is an option on Imgur to keep the post hidden so it will be private if you click that before posting.
