Tutorial

Create an Album

Log into your Photobucket account. Your default album or your My home page displays.
Click Create new album in the Sub-albums panel at the right (available in all of your albums). If your My home page displays, click Create a new album in the Recent albums section. The Create a new album window displays.

Type your album name into the Name your new album field.

Album names must be between 2 and
50 alphanumeric characters.Photobucket recommends that you keep album names as short as possible, because some sites limit the length of URLs. By keeping the names short, you ensure your images will work on all sites.
The following characters are allowed:

upper or lowercase a-z
0-9
-
_
space

Note: You may see an error message when you try to rename or delete albums with apostrophes. If you have a special character in a name, please try to rename the album and remove the characters.

Special characters, such as @ ' ~ $ # % , . are not allowed.
Avoid using the word "banner" in
your album names because some browser and firewall security settings
will prevent this album from being visible.
Spaces may cause problems for
content linked off of Photobucket. Some sites cannot properly read
spaces in URLs and insert instead of a space in the album name. This
can potentially cause problems when trying to follow the URL path.

Enter a description for the album.
Select the Add as an album to checkbox if you want to add your new album to an existing album, then choose the album to which you want to add the new album.

Note: Albums can only be five levels deep within the default album. For example: myalbum> album1 > album2 > album3 > album4 > album5.

Choose the album privacy setting: Public or Private.
OPTIONAL: If you choose Private in step 7:

Select the I would like to share this album checkbox if you want to share your album.
Enter a guest password to share with the friends who you want to see your album.
