I’ve been eyeing you’re It’s a Wonderful Life with the house and snow, but I don’t know how to save it where I will get the falling snow.

I remember watching The House Without a Christmas tree ever year when I was little.

Skip a step and do it this way:

Go to your user pic upload section. Pick the second option to upload from an internet image. Come back to the image you want, right click, choose Properties, and then highlight and copy all the info next to Address. Then go back to the userpic upload and pase the address in. Then it will upload it to LJ's servers for your user pic.

Um, that's called hotlinking, and most icon makers don't like that because it uses up their bandwidth on Photobucket.

It's a moving Gif, so you can just right-click and save it to your picture file, and then upload it to Livjournal. In your picture file you won't see the snow moving, but if you right click on it and do "Open with Internet Explorer" it should open.

Why is it hotlinking if it's uploaded directly to LJ's servers? Once it's put in your user pics, the link to the photo is on LJ's servers, not the photobucket. Either way - saving it to the computer or uploading it directly - makes no difference, no?

From what I understand, hotlinking is uploading it to your own site but not hosting it through your own site - i.e. linking to the photobucket image elsewhere.

I'm honestly asking, because I'd hate to have done it wrong for such a long time!
