How does it work?

I know alot of people that uses it but I haven't tried it yet.

I have some things in 'my pictures-folder' but for some reason I can't post them here so I am wondering aboout photo pucket. Is it free?

Yes it's free and I really like it! That's my #1 choice for a photo hosting site and the only one I use for photos & avatars for this forum.

There's even some nice tutorials on how to build a photo album, place links in blogs & auctions and my favorite-HTML practice tutorials!! ;D

Here's a good place to get started:

Step 1 is saving pictures to your computer

Step 2 is getting a picture hosting site.
I like photobucket.com/ because it uses the url and img features both
Url feature provides the link to view the picture rather than automatically showing the photo - people with dial-up appreciate this
Img feature automatically shows the photo - when using this feature always preview before actually posting to any forum due to excessive sizing of your photo(photos can be resized)

Step 3 To upload photos, click the Upload Photos link. You will see a screen that has several blank fields followed by a "Browse" button. Click the Browse button after a blank field and navigate within your own computer to find the images you want to post. Double click the image file to select it and click the Upload/Submit button at the bottom of the page. . This might take a few minutes…your photo will be downloaded

Step 4 copy either the url or the img properties and then paste it to your post.

Step 5 resize if necessary
