How to get Photobucket Pictures directly into your publication.

 If you are addicted to the ease that Photobucket offers its users then this guide should help you utilize photobucket to help enhance your Spongefish lessons!

1. Find the appropriate picture from photbucket.com (you can use this with out having an account, just use the search box to help you find what you want)  

 2. Once you have found the image, click on the picture so that the browser shows you just your image, and a list of links on the right hand side.

3. Copy and paste the "HTML TAGS Websights & Blogs" box which is the third box down.

 4. Paste the link into your Spongefish lesson where you want the image to appear. The picture will not reveal just yet, it should still be in HTML format. 

(here I have copy and pasted  the HTML link directly into my Spongefish browser.)

5. Once finished writing your publication and adding all the appropriate pictures hit  the 'publish’ button on the far top right of the spongefish browser. 

 HINT: When you view your publication you will see that the images still appear to be in HTML code. This is okay.

6. Now you are going to have to click on your profile (the easiest way is to click on your name next to your picture). This should send you back to your homepage.

7. On the left hand side, underneath your picture you should see a link “My Content”, click this and it will take you back to your publication list.

8. Once looking at your impressive publication list, click on the “EDIT” button next to the publication you just posted.

9. You should now be looking at the text you just published including the HTML for the photos. Click  the HTML , scrolling over it should reveal the image.

10. Click the HTML again and you should see an image box surround your photo. If you click it a third time this should automatically embed the image into your post. (Sometimes you have to click outside the box to make it stick)

Now hit the publish button again and you are ready to roll!

I hope this has been helpful. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, and please bear in mind that Spongefish is a blossoming growing site in need of your patience and support. And I believe we all remember how hard puberty was.
