And if you dont want to do the resize step allow photobucket to do it for you with the reduce to size feature in the upload window. also use the insert image Icon above the window you are typing in and paste the copied direct link of the pic in photobucket.
Just a slightly different way to do the same thing, as there is always many ways to do it.

Great writeup, Gary!

This should be required reading for all Lumberjocks- new and old. Martin should put this in the help section!

Thank you Garyk for this helpful information. I have failed to do it many times in spite of getting help from couple of LJs. May be I was missing some step. I will try again and hope to succeed.

Thanks Gary. I kept cutting off the right side of my pics, so I gave up and posted links. This will really help.

As a FYI, Flickr.com is another service that you could utilize for this purpose, and it automatically resizes the pictures as they are uploaded. The nice feature they have is the pics are resized into S/M/L categories. I use the medium sized pictures for the LJ blogs.

Appreciate the sizing tip Gary. I tried to show pictures with the text in a project before and everything worked except the pictures were way too big. Now I’ve posted my first blog and the sizing came out right thanks to you.
