RESEARCH: Photobucket

Photobucket.com is a great website which allows easy sharing of photos in creative and space saving ways. It's easy to make a customised slideshow if you know how. I often caught myself wasting time on Photobucket, figuring out how to share my photos which is why I wanted to make this tutorial.

1. To create slidshows you need to make an account on Photobucket.com; it's free! After all that is done it's time to upload some pictures. Click on the "Upload" button...


2. It's best to make a sub-album, this way the images are more organised. To do that click on "Create new album" top, right(above the big green button):
3. Once that's done, lets add images by clicking:

 4. That was easy, now lets go back to our album by clicking:
 5. Click "Tools"...

...and "Try it now"
6. Here you can choose which images, when and how should they appear by following steps 1,2,3:

 7. Once the slideshow is saved (step 3), click on "Share"
 8. This will open a window where we have to choose "Get link code" and copy the "HTML fo Website & blogs". To do that, highlight the text by clicking and swiping your mouse button and selecting some of the text and then clicking CTRL + A to highlight all and CTRL + C to copy.

 9. "Edit HTML" and copy the link by clicking CTRL + V...

*10. This step is only for the "brave" ;-) To get rid of the two buttons at the bottom of the slideshow, highlight the text from "<a" to "</a>" as seen on the screen shot:

Here is the final effect:
