Look at my first response (#2) to this new thread and you'll see: http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63554 . The big picture is "imbeded" meaning that the picture really isn't on the FordBarn site but is on the PhotoBucket site. All that's on the FordBarn site is the address/URL for that picture which causes it to show up when the page is displayed. The second small picture is the thumbnail image that you have to click twice on to see it bigger.

Uploading the pictures is much easier but just posts a thumbnail that you have to click twice on to enlarge it then click back to get out of it. And that has a size limit of 800 pixels for a JPG image.

"Imbedding" the image by using the Insert Image icon shows the picture full size without any clicking and you can make it as big as you want although anything bigger that 700 pixels wide is wider than this page. Also, if you want to do a slide show with narration as I did for my Death Valley trip here: http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showth...t=62705&page=2 you don't have the control of arranging the pictures and text if you just upload the pictures.
