If you want to "own" your photos, then purchase an account on Amazon S3. It's much more complicated to use, but you get a lot more. It's not too expensive, my bill was 10 cents for June.

You can get a Firefox addon, S3 Organizer, which will help you upload photos, so it's fairly easy to use. You can host more than just photos of course.

Photobucket is not calling it TAG anymore, HDD. Look for the one that says HTML code (the third one down in the list). Just click on it and it will copy, then paste it directly to your message, but be sure to leave a space (start a new paragraph) between that and your text (or between 2 photos)or else it will all run together and stretch out the screen. When you preview the message you should see your photo. If you don't, you probably used the wrong code, so try it again before you click "submit".

Yes Lisa that was the old instructions I made before the change. I should have looked for the new one....I know I have posted that one at least twice before in this forum
