Using PHOTOBUCKET. How to get pictures in your post. :)

FantasticFirefly · 03-01-2006, 11:23 PM

I've had a few people ask me how I get pictures in my posts.

So, for anyone who is wondering, Here's how.

First, you have to host your photo.

There are many free sites out there to host pictures.
If you’re a beginner, I recommend Photobucket (since it's easy to use). you can sign up at: www.photobucket.com

If you have another recommendation feel free to add it to this post!

After you sign up for an album (you can even get a free one) and upload your pictures to it, your ready to get them into your posts here.

Please make sure your pictures are not too big before adding them to your album! If a photo causes side scrolling here, it's too big!

Here's a screenshot:

All you have to do is copy and past the Img link (as shown) directly into your post.

Hope this helps.

Haha at Yuxie's comment!

Thanks for the helpful post. Do you think this would work with a Flickr account or not?

I thought Flickr didn't allow hotlinking, but I could be wrong.

The AOL way to add pics to posts using html:
(because we AOL people are special, LOL)

If you have an image uploaded to your aol FTP (keyword:FTP), use this code to show them here:

you can resize the height or width of the image by adding size guidelines to the code -

or

^substitute whatever number pixels you want where I put 400.

One hundred pixels is roughly this long : ***************

hope that helps anybody!
