I have received a couple of posts asking for advice on photo posting so maybe this will be of some use. I upload my photos to a free hosting site, I use photobucket, Very easy set up & uploads. photobucket.com/Once your photos are uploaded beneath them will be three links for each photo - url, tag & img Copy the 'img' link & then paste directly into your post & it will show like this - Easy as that!, the photo's whilst on photobucket can be resized & played about with. Cheers Pete

Pete, I've managed to get to the copy the 'img' link, but I can't get it to paste directly onto my post. What am I doing wrong?

Pete, I've managed to get to the copy the 'img' link, but I can't get it to paste directly onto my post. What am I doing wrong? I had the same problem initially Walker. Once you've clicked on the image link on photobucket, return to your post then right click and paste, thats it. Its best to open a new tab and then you can just click between "BEACHANDBOAT" and photobucket. hope this helps and Pete hope you dont mind me answering. ;D

Thankyou, I'm assuming it only shows a description of the picture until you post it. Unfortunately I have no pictures of success to do a trial run!

Sorry KS, I've now got to the preview stage (thankyou) however all the images are fullsize regardless of the 'resize' options chosen.
Appreciate all your help.

I find it's best to resize your pictures before you upload them to photobucket. Microsoft Photo editor is fine - select 'Image' from the top menu bar then 'resize' and make it about 700 pixels wide.
