The process of uploading your photos is fairly straight forward, but you may be confused about how to use Photobucket image codes in various applications.

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Share your pictures with email or IM. One easy way to use Photobucket image codes is through email or IM. You can use the first link provided (which should begin with http://) to send a link to friends and family members through email or IM. They can then click on the link to view the photo in question. This method works with any email provider and any IM provider.

2. Show off your pictures on a website. If you want to use your photos as part of a website or blog that has tools that allow you to put in a link for a photo, another option is one that you may want to use. The link also begins with a http:// and sends the viewer to a layout page that contains only your picture and nothing else.

3. Add the photo in with HTML code. If your blog or website requires you to enter raw HTML, you can use the third option. The code should begin with a left alligator bracket like all HTML code, then "a href=" and will insert your image into any place that accepts HTML code.

4. Share your photo on a forum or bulletin board. If you want to show off your photos in one of these venues, you will likely need the piece of code that starts with [img]. This will automatically format your photo to work in that particular forum.
