AGAIN STEP BY STEP GUIDE
1) In the space bar at the top of the screen where www. address go just type in PHOTOBUCKET (No www. purely just Photobucket)There will be a link to Photobucket just click on that.
2) Follow the instructions to register (it is a free service and brilliant it is to)
3) Once registered sign in go to upload images and pictures (Think this page automatically shows up) if not you will see a link to it.
4)Firstly you will need to make sure your picture sizes don't come out too big or too small. So under the box that has browse next to it you will see UPLOADING OPTIONS (L) click on that.
5) Make sure it is set to website and email size/setting (320x240) pixels This can be done by pointing the mouse arrow on that size and(R) clicking This will then set every picture you upload to that size which is a good appropriate size. Obviously if you want to go bigger you can but remember not to go smaller because you cannot increase the size again. If you do go bigger you run the risk of using up too much web space and therefore editing gets prevented
6) Go to the space bar that has upload images and videos
7) Press the box that says browse then the box will show up asking you to choose which file. You will need to choose My Picture if that is where you stored the picture.
Double (L) click on the picture you want to upload
9) That pictures name/number will appear in the space box next the browse button you pushed earlier. You can add more than one picture at a time by (L) clicking on the add more pictures. You will find that just below the space box. If you choose to do this several more boxes will appear and then for each picture you will need to press the appropriate browse button. Suggest you just start of with just one picture at a time first.
10) (L) click on the upload button-------wait a few seconds Takes longer the more pictures you upload and can take 2-3 minutes if you are uploading 15-20 pictures at a time.
11) Scroll down the page and you will see all your uploaded picture(s) in boxes below, this will not be the size of the picture so don't worry. Like l have said please be patient and give it time to upload.
12) Then under the picture you will see three differant types of links
URL LINK-----------------
HTML LINK---------------
IMG LINK-----------------
13) Copy the IMG LINK then paste it into your message.
If you are finding that you are still having problems with it, give us a ring either MONDAY or TUESDAY night as l am not working, best to let us know by email which evening would be better. I should be able to talk you through it. If these evenings are not convienent l am not working next FRIDAY, SATURDAY or SUNDAY . Good luck let us know how you get on with it.
I have tried to be as simplistic as possible but it is not always that easy to describe, and l know from my own experience it may seem simplistic but it still is difficult for the person receiving the info...Well it was for me, l felt total thick but then l got it and have never looked back..
