Following a tinyurl carries the risk that you have no means of knowing
just where the link might take you.

If that really worries you, use the otherwise equivalent
www.makeashorterlink.com. This begins by telling you where you are going
to be directed to, and gives you time to cancel.

Right, I'vegot the ideanow, thanks to (almost) all.

Next question:

How can I send a picture as a tinyurl or makeashorterlink? Do I have to put
it into my website as its own unique file?

If so I'm going to call a grandson to advise - I'm not too hot on
manipulating that!

No - he's not a six year old, when he was I taught him about computing. Now
that he's 21 he knows more than I do. About some things.
