Dropbox kind of works for this, but I was wondering what people do for this scenario, if anyone is doing it. I'd like to be able to take a picture, upload it to a host, and post a link to the picture in a thread so that the picture shows inline. All from my phone without too many gyrations. I've tried the Flickr and Tumblr mobile websites and apps. Both fail, in my hands.
First, I'll start with what I normally do to post a picture in a forum such as this:
1. take picture.
2. put picture on PC
3. resize, if necessary (usually, it is)
4. upload to my personal website host
5. Insert picture by using the picture linking button
The process above allows a picture to be shown inline, not as an attachment where the reader has to click on it to enlarge it - allowing me to control the size of the picture and making it easier for a reader to see what's going on when viewing a thread on a phone - that and I have complete control over the process. Of course, this only works in this forum if the picture is below a certain screen size. I'd like to avoid doing this for pictures taken with my phone, emailing it to myself on my PC, uploading etc. i.e. I'd like to do this from my phone and I would like to use a site like Flikr to host host the pictures, easily grab a link and then insert in a post, all while on my phone.
Dropbox sort of works, but it's still feels a bit clunky.
Does anyone do this? What ways have you found to be easiest? I don't want to use Facebook or Twitter for doing this as I don't want the pictures (mostly) to show up in my feed. I don't really care if weird, random, mundane pictures show up in my Flikr account, though.

Seems like there should be a faster and slicker way of doing this...
