Once you click “Add your link,” you will arrive at the inLinkz window. You have 4 options for adding a photo: Blog, Upload, Image URL, and Instagram.

Many times, you will be required to add a Link, even if you are choosing another method for uploading a picture. You can always link to one of your social media profiles if you don’t have a blog.

Many link parties allow you to delete your own links. If you can’t for some reason and need to, contact the host because they can delete your link on your behalf.
