How to Redirect a Photobucket Picture

Photobucket's free image hosting service allows its community to upload and host thousands of JPGs, PNGs and GIFs. Once hosted on the Photobucket server, the user can share the image anywhere on the web with a direct link. You can also embed the images in Web pages, forums and blog posts that use HTML. Furthermore, you can use the embedded images as links to redirect users to external websites other than the Photobucket page where the image is hosted.

Instructions

1. Visit the website to which you want to redirect the image link. Select and copy the entire URL from your address bar.

2. Visit the post where you embedded the picture.

3. Edit your webpage's HTML file. If you are editing a blog or forum post, simply click "Edit" on the post, when logged in with your account or admin privileges. The string of code where you embedded the image will be designated by the "<img src>" tag in HTML.

4. Enter the text in the following example before the image tag in your code: <a href="http://www.demandstudios.com">

5. Replace the Demand Studios address with your URL from the first step. Leave the quotes within the brackets intact, because these quotes designate your link within the code.

6. Close the tag. After the end bracket of the "<img src>" tag, enter the text "</a>" to include the link. When you have finished, the code should resemble the following, only with your links in place of the example links: <a href="http://www.yourredirectlink.com"><img src="http://photobucket.com/albums/username/picture.jpg"></a>
