There are many site out there that can host your pictures including Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com)
or
ImageShack (http://www.imageshack.us)
Any will work on Jayhusker and with this tutorial. But this tutorial focuses of using photobucket.

1. First off you will come to this screen when you go to http://www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com/) . Click the red “Join Now” button.

2. Enter the information that it asks for. Just choose a username from the list they give you if yours is unavailable. Here is an example of what I entered you will not be able to see the password, but can figure out how to make your own. Just try to make it at least 6 characters and try to use letters and numbers.

3. At the next screen it will ask you for your basic information. Such as First Name, Last Name, Gender, Birth date, etc. Just enter the appropriate information and click “I Accept”.(By the way none of the information I have entered is real if you want to message me about anything you the email in my profile.)

5. Where the 3 “Browse” buttons are I want you to click the first one and another window will open that will look like this.

When you are here I want you to find your photos that are on your computer. (It is easier to have them on your desktop to begin so you don’t have to search for them.) When you have found the photo you are looking for click it once and then click the “Open” button.
Then you will go back to the other screen and you photo will be ready for upload. Continue this step until you get all three boxes filled.
You screen will look like this when that is done.

6. If you wish to add a title to your photo you can but it is not needed so I will skip this step. Next I want you to click the “Upload” button. After which you will get a screen that looks like this. This tells you that your photos are in the process of being uploaded

If you wish to upload more photos repeat steps 5 and 6.
7. Next I want you to scroll down and you will see small images (also called thumbnails) of the photos you have uploaded. You will also see 3 lines below it. All you have to do is click the line next to the letters “IMG Code”, and it will be copied. This is what your screen will look like.
