1. You need to subscribe to a photo hosting site, like Photobucket.

Their accounts are free.

Just follow the prompts once you have an account, and you'll be able to post your pictures!

And.....Welcome to DU!

5. You're so very welcome!

I couldn't remember the detailed instructions.....sorry!

If you have difficulties after you get your account, post again, and hopefully someone more experienced than I am will come in to help.

Do I have to use the same user name for the photo hosting site
that I use for DU?
Thank You!

4. Not at all!

I did for mine, but it was just more convenient. Makes things simpler.

You can use any old name you like!
