First you have to host an album online (such as photobucket.com, or picasa.com.)
After you upload, just copy the url and paste the IMG code and it will appear.

There is a technical article or something on the site. Just do a search for image posting. I don't have the link handy but it's here.

Welcome to the site

Tried to do the the photo album but apparently my pics sizes are to big! I think a 12 mega pix is too much. I will take some more pics tomorrow if I have time with a dif. cam.
Thanks

Yes, that is too large. You can resize using free software. Google free picture resizing.

Ok I'm not real good with computers. Actually I'm horrible with them. However I did get the pictures downloaded to my album but cant figure out how to attach them to a post.
Any suggestions?

C&P url # 2 into your post.

The simple: You can re-size in the Micro paint program. Go to resize, hit 75 tab 75. "Save as" to your desk top. Then upload to gallery. The gallery program will finish it for you.

Or you can batch edit w/Irfan view.

They also have some cool filters and plug ins. It's free.

Photobucket automatically resizes. All the photos you guys seen taken by me would fill you monitors 2x over

Yea, I have to read that sometime lol. Not sure why I haven't. I guess I got mine to work before that was written up.

I'd read it for sure if I was having problems tho.
