I have my photos stored on Picasa web album, and here's how I upload my photos from Picasa to GW. 1 - I check that my albums are shared with "Limited, anyone with the link", if they're not Public; 2 - I open the photo that I want to upload; 3 - I look on the right side of the photo to locate "Link to this photo" and click on that; 4 - I high-light the codes in the box under "Embed image", then copy the codes; 5 - I return to my post on GW and paste the copied codes. I always got my photos appeared in my post on here. Hope that helps. By the way, I'd like to share photo of my two bulbs recently received from Royal colors. Xuan

Lrae..LOL...go ahead, I'll post some more for you to drool over soon. :) Chris...yep those Munsons will do it every time. You should see my Munson beds, really getting lots of bloom now and so pretty. Actually this is Thebes 2nd bloom season in my garden. Gnomey....thanks, but I just get lucky I guess, that and I've got a great camera! LOL Judy....get out there girl...you need more dl's, don't you know? :) Missylin...glad you enjoyed looking at my dl's. CK is a real beauty in person, but then again, most of them are to me. :) barbiescrapes....as I told gnomey, I guess I just get lucky and have a good camera. VM is a beautiful and very distinctive dl I think. Thanks to everyone for your comments. I've added today's seedling blooms to my last seedling thread. Link below if anyone is interested. :) Here is a link that might be useful: Today's seedlings

Huh. Have you tried using a different browser? It sounds like an anti-virus program or something is interfering with pop-ups. You may want to ask this over on the Computer forum. Renee

Now that you know how to do it, be judicious in applying it. When you do it, you're stealing bandwidth. Most commercial sites have plenty of bandwidth and since you're advertising their wares, they're okay with you appropriating the image (which is technically a copyright violation whether you put it in your Photobucket account or not). Photobucket is setup specifically for sharing, so linking something from a public Photobucket account, or your own, is what they're there for. Nowadays, Photobucket also allow you to save an image from the web in one step, rather than having to save it locally and then upload it back to the web. Sometimes people will post an image from a small time page and the owner will trace it back here wondering what all the hits were about. Every time the thread with the image gets opened, the originating website registers a hit. These are people who get very touchy if we're criticising them (including criticising them for appropriating images from one of us!), though sometimes they're happy to have us discussing them and wish we'd actually click over to their sites. I used to make my images clickable so they'd take you to the Amazon page, or whatever, where it could be found, but since Photobucket, among others, insert a link to their home page in your picture code, I stopped bothering because people would think it would just take them there, and I wasn't about to bother with a tooltip.
