Once you have uploaded the images, make sure that the album is set to public. It’s important you do this otherwise your images won’t show up on your display.

Now that your images are uploaded you’ll have to acquire the permalink. To acquire the permalink select the image, right-click on the photo and select ‘Copy Image URL’.
