Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments ~ How to Add a Picture from Photobucket ~

A great place to start adding pictures from Photobucket.com and search for a cartoon or picture. If what you want isn’t there, then upload to your album there on their site.

By the way, you DO NOT have to join Photobucket to download something. If you join, it’s free. ☺

★ When you move your mouse over the picture, a drop down box will appear.
      You can copy that code.

Screen #1
     

    ★ Or, if you’ve hyperlinked from somewhere on GoodReads (like one of
      Lisarenee’s hangman figure links, used in this example) click on the link and
      go to the picture’s dedicated page, you’ll see the box to the far right,
      as shown in Screen #2).

Copy (right mouse click) over the html option, but if this doesn’t work,
      make sure you are on the line (in the field) you want then use
      “select all” - which will only select that line of text, not the whole page)

Screen #2
     hangman_

★ The word "Copied" should flash briefly on that line.

Screen #3
     hangman1a

★ Paste that long list of code/instructions to a comment box on GRs. They
    start with a less-than-sign before an a (no space between) and end with
    an less-than-sign / a >

Screen #4
     hangman2

★ Using the (preview) option just to the right of the left hand "post" button, is
     always a good idea. :)

Screen #5
     hangman3

★ Personally, I like the ones that move! However, they can be irritating to the
      eyes, so I often but them under "view spoiler".

Tracey Smith | 415 comments So do you have to upload a photo to photobucket first?

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Tracey, you want to download from your phone, right?

Get an account (a small one is FREE) and then click on the green button with the white up arrow.

On the next screen, to the left, it say "Upload from" - from the drop-down menu select "mobile phone."
