So, Schoolwork.

I've always had to juggle a balancing act of personal health, work, and relaxation (mental health!) into a dropped bucket juggle of sorts. You know, where that third object always seems to nearly hit the ground, just to be kicked back up at the last moment, in a haphazard juggley way, and nearly dropping one of the other two instead, ad nauseum

It sounds like you had a really nice weekend. You're probably still awake because that 16-hour sleep recharged you. I hope you can fall asleep soon! I hate that feeling of getting really, really sleepy in the larger of the wee hours (I consider 5 a.m. to be a wee hour) when I know I have to get up in two hours and go-go-go all day on very little sleep with no hope of a nap.

I mean, it's not that I can't sleep most days til late- class always starts at 10, latest my classes run is 4pm, but usually it's noon, 3 days out of the week, and i could be back in my room asleep by quarter after one. It's just, I usually sleep those long ~12 hours, every other day, and so there's not much time to do anything besides class, and sleep and look after myself.

I'm glad you're making looking after yourself and your health a priority. It's too easy for us to get so caught up in external pressures and deadlines that we sacrifice our health and peace of mind. I've been guilty of doing that myself!

I was wondering if you could give me a couple of pointers on how to upload an image from photobucket to my LJ. LJ seems to want me to upload the image from my computer, but I'd like to learn how to do it from an external site. A reader drew me a cool (and drool-worthy) picture of Dee and Ryo and I want to share it with the Fake fans who frequent my journal. No rush on this, as I'll be at work for the next few hours, and I'm sure that you're at school.

html image link it in an entry

I'm sure photobucket has it as an option to share when you upload, you just copy the code (should look like

xD oh, wow, i put code examples in the reply, and it thought they were actual code? ... my bad, guess that won't work, hmm... anyway, should have (carrot)a href="website"(carrot) tags around it, but it'll be (carrot)img src="imagelink"/(carrot)

Carrots are the less than and greater than signs, respectively.

Sorry, but I still have no clue what I should do. When I try to insert an image in my LJ post, I click on the upload image button, but then my only option seems to be uploading the image from my computer. There is no place in that window for me to put a code. Do I initiate the upload (or is it a link?)from the photobucket end or from the LJ end? And where exactly do I find the code and where exactly do I put it? You are talking to a total neophyte here!

Alright, I've taken a look at the rich text editor, and this is what you'd want (I'll still include how I do it with my lj html editor way after)

How you'd want to do it, with the rich text editor, is you'd click the 'insert image' button, then you'd click the "photobucket" tab, sign into your photobucket, click the photo you want, then hit the "paste media" button below. Then simply post.

Now, how I do it is:
Ok, when you upload an image onto photobucket, it has different ways to link or share the image (you'll see it on the main home page- after uploading, go 'back to album' and you'll see your album- mouseover the image, and you'll see four different codes along the bottom)

Then I'd get the one called "HTML Code"- click it, and it will copy it for you. Then I'd simply paste that code where I'd want the image in my entry.

Either way, you should have an image in your journal post.

Thanks so much! I'll try it when I get back from the gym.
