 Okay what am I doing wrong with the dang images?!?  Can someone please give me the adding a JU blog image for dummy directions.  I go to photo bucket.  I click on the html link.  I have tried adding it by clicking on the little tree icon to add an image and I get this lovely red x.  Then I tried just plugging the image code into the body of the blog.  Still no go, just a link but no image.  Then I tried copying the code from photobucket that is just the IMG code, still a red x or still a link but no image.  So is it me am I just completely challenged?  I see other people putting photos in their blogs.  So help me.  I am image challenged and it's making me mad.  It makes me want to throw things or scream.  Oh and I'll just add that I don't know what category to put this in.  I don't want all the "advanced" computer geeks rolling their eyes to heaven at how pathetically lame I am.  Okay, roll your eyes to heaven if you want then hold my hand like I am a two year old and tell me what to do.

I know there are probably better ways, but I copy the url and paste that in the little box for photos.

Well I'm as challanged as you Loca.  That's why I rarely put pics up.  They either come out huge or mini pics  or not at all and I too get frustrated.  So you're not alone.  A couple of times I got it right but haven't the last few times so I gave up.  I probably should try it more and stay current but don't take the time to do so. 

Maybe TW should give us play by play instructions?

You could host your image at photobucket... they will host your image and give you the html... then hit that 'html' thingi and put the code in thar. It should work. If not, Image tags seem to work as well. Thats for Firefox and Opera, I don't really know what happens at this site in Internet Explorer, but I'm certain that this site was written exclusivly for Internet Explorer with little to no regard for users of other browsers.

Just keep in mind for copy/paste that the new JU doesn't let you copy/paste in Firefox, but it works more or less in IE and occasionally functions in Opera (I know, I know, I try really hard not to bitch about the 'rich text editor' but I seem to have more problems with it than anything else on this whole site).

SC...I tried to copy/paste a funny picture today of Obama...yep...lol.

Anyhow I only got a big box with a little red x in the left hand corner. Wasn't sure if that would print as a picture or just be a nothing so I didn't even try to submit the blog. Would it have worked?

Of course I didn't try photobucket, just tried to copy/paste thinking maybe it'd work!
