I'm new to Photobucket and have some questions.

[John Schmidt]

First....what do they mean by "tag" in the box below the pictures when you label and describe them?  But my big question is how do I link it to the Classifieds on here? I've tried a couple approaches and they seem to get lost in space somewhere. Can someone guide me through it?

OK....update: Just tried a test For Sale posting and think I got it this time. Getting too old for this new fangled stuff.

A tag is usually a word or words describing the picture(keyword).  So later, if you have 100's or even 1000's of pictures you could search for a keyword (tag) to find related pictures.

As an example, I use delicious.com to save and sync all my bookmarked links(or favorites depending on your browser of choice).  I tag each link with multiple keywords to make it easier to find specific links on a given topic.  Since I have almost 1000 bookmarks saved it is a little tough to find things without those tags.

I can't help with photobucket links since I don't use it myself.

This is probably the only time I'll use the Bucket.

I just backed all of my pictures off of it.    It got to be a pain in the arse to get into the album ya wanted.    It always wanted to send ya to the default album, which was ok, but I want to select the one I want and Photobucket people were of no help, then they started popping in pull downs, that ya had to chase around the screen before ya could get it killed.....

Tag:   It is a search feature in that album.    example, you have a bunch of pictures of your grandkids on a album with some other pictures.   Give the tag a name for grandkids, then when you only want them you type in grandkids and it will bring all to the top for ya.    That part works good by the way.
