Thank you sooo much! I use Wordpress and to get it to work for me: from Photobucket I had to copy and use the "HTML code" as my "image URL" and not the "Image Code." This kinda confused me at first and I ended up with text, but no picture. I switched to the HTML choice from Photobucket and it worked like a charm! Hopefully this will help someone else :-)) I'm so glad you posted this!!!

My image is HUGE and I can't figure out how to resize it on my blog. It's the same file I've used to my avatar and other things...hmmmm
