The ultimate blogging site, Photobucket provides instantaneous code for photos and videos in multiple formats for pasting directly in blogs, web pages, emails, etc. Basic organization tools are available, like albums, subalbums, captions, etc., but editing tools are limited.
If you are a digital imaging rookie, you may want to check out the glossary for descriptions of general features found on photo and video sites, and for some insight into basic industry terms.
[#Unique#]
Create multiple forms of photo displays for blogging, such as slide shows and filmstrips. Code is immediately provided.
[#Membership#]
Basic membership allows files up to one (1) MB to be uploaded and one (1) GB of storage. Pro accounts get five (5) GB of storage and two (2) MB file limit.
[#Drawbacks#]
Uploading is not as diverse as other sites. Although you can upload up to 19 images at once, drag and drop or batch uploading is not available.
Another drawback is, despite the availability of different photo display options, there is no customization allowed. You cannot change the speed, add descriptions, add music or anything like you can on other sites. You can, however, easily and quickly post them on a webpage.
[#Uploading#]
Upload up to 19 images at once and only 1MB each with basic membership. Actual upload speed is comparable to other sites, but batch uploading is not an option, so it takes more overall time to upload photos.

[#Sharing#]
Photos and videos are shared by copying URLs into blogs and webpages or by sending individual invitations.
[#Privacy#]
Photos and videos are private until they are posted by the user or a share email is sent.
[#SiteNavigation#]
Navigation is fairly simple. Getting photos to upload to the correct album can be frustrating if you do not remember to check which album you are in before uploading.
