Locating an Image URL
First off all, what IS an 'Image URL'? Well, it's basically the URL for a specific image, hosted by either your site server or a service such as photobucket.com. For anyone, knowing how to find out an image's URL is crucial to editing their profiles, websites, etc. I know that many people have no idea how to add an image to their website, but for that, you'll have to go to the HTML Codes
Right now, we need an image. 
This one will do just fine.
This is actually very simple. Put your cursor over the image, and then click 'Copy Image Location'. For an expample, see below:
The text in red is what you want to left click. Now, all you have to do is paste it onto whereever you want. To do this, right click and select 'paste' or hold down the ctrl key on your keyboard and then press v
This trick is easy and can make your editing days much easier. However, you have to be careful not to hotlink images. If the image owner has given permission to use their images by directly linking them, that's find. If not, then instead of copying the location, click 'Save Image As...' and upload it yourself. Otherwise, you're stealing bandwidth, and that's ILLEGAL. That's the end of this tutorial, put it to good use! And by that, I mean LEGAL use.
Refreshing Trick
My cousin taught me this trick when I told him a problem with my CSS. You see, dear reader, I kept uploading my .css file and my layout wouldn't change colors! It took nearly 13 hours for it to show up! So, I asked him, seeeing as he went to college to learn more about computers. He told me that my web browser's cache was storing old information. My website was updating, but my browser just wasn't seeing it.
All you have to do is press down your shift key, and while you hold it down, rfresh your page. Simple, and it works!
