Hi all
I thought I'd put together a quick tutorial for those of you that need a little help posting pictures to the forum. I recommend photobucket, and have set up this site to help you get started. I hope it helps

Mary\'s Photobucket Tutorial

That's a good Idea Mary
I use photobucket, but I click on the image button,right click then paste the picture.

COOL!

Good show, Mary!
You helped me w/Paintbucket and I will recommend your site to one of the Seniors in my Digital Photo course.

Now, are you giving the course or taking it? I'm still confused on that one

I use photobucket, I just copy and paste either the IMG or the link to the picture.

Hi Mary:
Trying to catch up to your 648 postings
Reason for confusion: I team teach MSWORD at the same place I'm studying (student) digital photography.
Team teaching is easier

Ohhhhhhhhhh! I gotcha! Cool gig ya got there...I miss teaching! Good luck with the digital photography class

Thanx, Mary
After putzing around since Chritmas, I learned more about digi-cam in 3 hours than I had in the previous 7 months. Instructor retired engineer (Gruman/Bethpage) very well organized and provided us with 1st rate up-to-date manual. Way surperior to camera manufacturer's book.
Got 6 more classes (3 hrs/per) and expect professional status by the time it is all over.
Again, appreciate intro to paintbucket

Wow - may be you can pass along some tips when ya get done. I did save something from an online seminar I went to about digi photog basics, with lighting a huge focus. I'll PM it to you as soon as I finish putting it together though it may be stuff you already know by now - and if any one else is interested, let me know and I'd be glad to send it along!

I use photbucke and I think they are great check out a few of my dl's

That carmen lilly is VERY pretty

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MARY!

I am a total innocent when it comes to the computer and yet, I was able to do your tutorial and EASILY post a bunch of links to photos for the Gardening With Disabilities Forum!

Thank you so!

Merme

Finess, what gorgeous pictures! Thanks for sharing them!

Coolio Merme! Glad I could help!

A great site that i use all the time that allows you to use bigger photos is www.imageshack.us

just upload it, then copy the link to the photo.

Yep, we have several members who have
theirs there too, but most of us aren't
and we have to be a member to be able to
view it....
Most of the time that's why we recommend
Photobucket...

ther'es also Webshots too *I couldn't figure
out how to load and one or two other places as well.

Mary,
EXCELLENT tutorial! Thanks so much!

Do you know why a photo that I posted (using the IMG tag) would show up last night when I posted it, but now its a little broken link?
I found out that my photobucket account was private, so I fixed that. WIll that eventually fix the photo I posted?

THANKS for the info!!

Kath...use the top line under your picture...
...the URL line.

But Cindy... Then it just posts the link TO the picture. I want those eyes starting back at you from the page!!!
Do I still use the URL?

To put the pic of my eyes on the page, I click the "image" button.
When the box pops up, I backspace over the blue http: that is already there, then copy the url (top line under my photo in photobucket) to the image box, then click O.K.




Sha-ZAAM!

lemme try!!! lemme try!!

HEY... I don' see no Image button!!!

Off at the left I see "html is not enabled. UBB code is enabled" and Graemlins, of course.

Is it a setting in my profile? (I'll go look in the meantime)

AHHH. FOUND IT. "Full reply form'...




VOYLAH, too!!

Full Reply Form is where it HAPPENS!



Cindy Sue

Dang!
Your eyes are bigger than my eyes!

I gotta go get bigger eye pictures!

But, in the meantime...

Adding in nose, bangs and bird doesn't make for bigger eyes!!!

Here's my picture......

I scrolled down and that scared the crap out of me!

Yeah...but I got extra points for it!
(Didn't I?)

afgrey... Of COURSE you did!! AYGSELLINT!!!


I do think you can probably teach me a THING or TWOOOO about photoediting sometime!! I have the tools, I jus' don't have the 'WTH is going on here' to make it goooo!

althooooo...
Gotta go get some eyes.. (probably not sized right..dang)..
Be right back.

Photoshop Elements is not my friend right now. Saving made items unacceptable to PhotoBucket. jpg. but "bad jpg".

i weally do have more good eyes to share...

really

Man, I'm scared of bad jpgs.

Weezie...
Now that I'm frustrated with Photoshop.. Maybe I'll go watch LOTR!!! All tonight. YEAH!! THAT"S the ticket! (okay not really, but i would LOVE to!) Thanks for the visit from Smeagol!

Oh. Those ARE Gollums eyes, aren't they??!

Okay, I'll just close MY eyes and _think_ of Smeagol!

Okay. Probably only took me 2 hours.
Your time is more like "30 minutes" if that, huh?

Huh, Cindy!? Huh? (those are boxing gloves in those gremlin's hands! right? arent' they? tha's the way i like to fight.)

Geez. Those ARE big aren't they.

(Back to drawing board.. Must lean to shrink.. save realestate...shrink!!)

Very Cool Eyes ya got there Kath.....

I dunno. They scare me now! I have to make them about .5" by .25" and then maybe I won't dream about them.

what was I thinking?

I'm wondering if this is worth a new subject, but maybe its best Right here!

Does anyone know if it is possible to SEQUENCE photos within Photobucket? Or is this just a 'dumb' holding space that shows them in descending order to when you upload the photo?
I've found that I have forgotten to post photos that occurred earlier in the process of something I'm showing, and I'd love to have them grouped better.

Ideas?

THANKS for this thread!!

Is photobucket a free account. Can you also tell me a the benefits of it.

Newgardner,
It's FREE, you put your pictures on it,
and then link them here for people to see..
Like if you had a Mystery Plant, and you posted
the picture in our Mystery Section..

Some places' limit amounts, this one place is like
250 pictures, and I think that's per album...
Ask maybe Cindy/Afgreyparrot, she use's it alot
and has different albums for different stuff...

Thanks a BUNCH, Mary!!! I LOVE photobucket!!!

photobucket has a free service - which has a pretty decent amount of storage space. you can also upgrade and increase the storage space and i think you get a couple of other things with the paid account - not sure as i'm still going with the freebie...they've recently added a few things to it. you can create nice slideshows now.

I use geocities... testing out the images since it doesn't seem to be working in my sig.

I'd tried fixin' it..

I got most of it??

thanks for the tut Mary! Now to go give it a try with some mystery plants to see if someone can name them!

Mary I love your tutorial..........question can I use it to tell people how to use photobucket by copying and pasting it somewhere else? I don't want to pirate it but I think it is a great tool.

Just asking.

~Stacey

i am trying!

it is just putting the word photobucket, ok I need more coffee

Did you figure it out?

howdy loz, I am fixing to go to photobucket & try again. give me a minute.............

see, it doesn't put the pic it puts the url?

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was not hitting image, duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

thank you Mary, Loz & weezie

Woooooooooooo~hooooooooooo!!!
Yeah!!!
You got it...

Awesome!

thank you, using photobucket is fun.I think i figured out how to put the url under my sig. Let me try it...............i'm not soing something right so brb

I fixed it for you!!!
**Just needed a space between your smiley
face guy there and your photobucket account...

oh weezie, ty! I told u I am a ditz today!It is the little things I can't figure out today. whew

Glad you got it on..
I will take a peak later, gotta go get #1 child.

I found that if you go back and put things in alphabetical or numerical orde the buck will load the way you want it to ...in order....

take a look "at the tea room page" on the my photobucket page...I had to re-do twice before I figured it out....

I took photos of the tea room in a certain sequence and had to go through and put it in alphabetical order...otherwise the bucket uploads randomly...let me know if this works....

P.S. you will need to delete all the photos in the album , change the names to alphabetical order and then re-upload in the abc order back onto the bucket....

good luck...send me the link to view.....please

In the Account Options (top\right of the window) at PhotoBucket, you can select one of three methods to have your images sorted as you upload them.

You also have the option to Move an image after you've already loaded it.
