Can I upload photos directly to Photobucket?
- Yes (In WinXP) download this registry addon.
- The tutorial is here..

What if I dont want to upload them and they are hosted already?
- You will be hotlinking the image. Alot of websites do not like this as you are using their bandwidth to host the picture. But here is how you do it anyways.
