I just subscribed to Photobucket

[Carla in Ca]

and I have a few questions...
Will I have my own personal collection, all in one place to add/delete my pics from or do you use the service for just one pic at a time?
Also, can I use it to choose my own avatar? If so, please explain how to input the added address info into it per the instructions on my 'change my profile' page.

Thanks!:hi:

1. Once you subscribe

all of the photos you've uploaded will be stored for you. You can edit or delete and even arrange in albums.

As far as choosing your own avatar, DU allows you to upload the photo directly from your computer -- you don't have to go through photobucket. Just make sure you downsize it to no bigger than 48 by 48 pixels. Just browse through your files to find the appropriate saved photo and once it's uploaded, be sure to copy and paste the code that DU gives you into the avatar box. What I'm talking about should make sense once you start the process.

Good luck!

2. I've got a pic of my Beagle

in 'my pictures'. I used image change (pixels) but it won't reduce to 48x48. Help, please.

3. I use paint shop pro 7

to resize any image. Here is a free very good program

6. I use Microsoft Picture It!

On the page where you resize images, you can change from inches to pixels. That's where I changed the size to roughly 48 by 48. Maybe there's a place to change the units on your page, too? Otherwise, I'm not sure what to tell you but good luck!

5. I LOVE photobucket!

I have several different folders: irreverent political pix, clark, smilies, cats, etc.

You can upload more than one photo at a time, just click on submit multiple pictures.
