Photobucket Experiment - and another advert for Lakewood Chapel

[dreamshark]

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.

Wow. The interior of that chapel is gorgeous. I've never been inside. Thanks so much for the pictures!

Oh, yeah. This little building is one of the architectural gems of the Twin Cities. I felt a little stupid when I finally saw the inside for the first time last year after living within a mile of it for 25 years! Check out the online brochure for more splendiferous pictures and a little history.

Thanks! You're right; the brochure is splendid, too.

"The chapel interior was created by New York designer Charles Lamb and many consider it the most perfect example of Byzantine mosaic art in the United States."

Who knew?
