For those interested here are some additional hints for posting pictures --
Bruce, when I followed the procedure, I could see an extre "[IMG]" at the beginning, and an extra "[/IMG]" at the end.
When I deleted those extra IMGs, then it worked.
It seems you have to delete those extra text "[IMG]"s to get it to work.
After clicking on the IMAGE bar, when the mini-pop up screen comes up, I'm just leaving the /http/ text that's already there, pasting in, and then hitting OK.
IMPORTANT NOTE Now, try this. When you create the file you may be asked at some point (before you create the photobucket file) to "size" the file. A good size is like 480 X 640 pixels. Somewhere in that neighborhood. This will make your picture viewable within one normal computer screen frame.
