So I got the image field variable to work finally.  My hunch about not being able to use a URL as input was correct.  I’m guessing there may be a way to create a path to a url within your own directory structure and call it that way, but that is an issue for another day.

As far as today’s problems are concerned, it turns out that all the times I tried to call file field on a url it created bad rows of data in my django projects database, so now I am looking for a way to remove lines of data from your database using the django shell.  On we go!
