How do you use Photobucket with LJ???

Now that I have an iPhone, which I am thinking of using as my primary camera, I have a different attitude towards cloud storage of pictures. I downloaded an iPhone app for PhotoBucket and posted a few pictures of Lakewood Chapel yesterday. 

Why Photobucket?  I dunno - 'cause one of my brothers uses it, I guess. I called him (on my new phone) and asked him why he picked that one. Apparently he did it more or less at random.  Coincidentally, Photobucket seems to be the one that LJ supports. But how the heck do you use it???  I've been trying to insert one of my PhotoBucket photos using the Post an Entry tool and can't figure it out.

I click the image icon and select the PhotoBucket tab.
I manage to navigate to my Lakewood folder on PhotoBucket.
Now what do I do?  I was hoping I could just click on the picture and it would be inserted into my LJ post, but clearly that's not it. 
        
  

 

Photobucket Experiment - and another advert for Lakewood Chapel

LJ's blog (and FAQ) merrily describes the LJ/Photobucket interaction as follows:
For those of you who use Photobucket, it's now even easier to access your albums from LiveJournal! When you're updating your journal, select "Insert Image" (in either the Rich Text or the HTML update page), then select the Photobucket tab. Log in with your Photobucket username and password, and you'll be able to grab your photos and drop them right into your journal. It's a snap.

I'm sure it's a snap if you can figure out what they mean by "grab."  Yes, there is a Photobucket tab on the insert image icon. When I click on it, it opens up Photobucket in a different tab and logs me in (I guess because I used the same userid and password). I navigate to the picture I want. Now what?

• I right click on the small picture and select Copy Image. Back to LJ Post window and try Paste. Nothing happens.
• Click through to larger size PhotoBucket picture and repeat. Still doesn't work.
• I look for a "grab" button on or near either version of the picture. Nope. I see an HTML link, but surely that isn't their idea of an easy grab?
• In desperation I open up another browser and start a new LJ Post Entry session (so I can see both windows at once) and try drag and drop.

Huh. I'll be damned. That did something. Let's try posting it and see what happens


ETA:  Okay, that's kind of useful. It inserts a thumbnail with a link to the PhotoBucket folder. But there is no way to do it with PhotoBucket opening up in a new tab of the same browser instance.  Is there?  Can you drag and drop from one tab to another?  This easy intuitive graphical interface stuff is so hard for me.

Okay, got it. Pictures are right side up now.

It took me all weekend, but I finally found a way to transfer my iPhone 4 photos to my Windows XP system without having them rotated 90 degrees. Along the way I learned about EXIF metatagging and learned (sadly) that my beloved photo manager (CompuPic) has been legacied, so there will be no updates to fix this issue. I finally found a free utility that rotates the photos losslessly and then fixes the metatags. So now the pictures are right side up, but they still have their time stamps (and maybe even geo-tags).
