Someone else pointed this out but I should have included it in my OP. If you are using PostImages, then once your image uploads, you'll be given a few different options for a URL to paste onto DU. The one to select is "Direct link" -- just copy that using the little copy button, and paste it directly into your DU post. The image will then appear automatically when you preview/post on DU.
