I took a boat load of pictures at a car show downtown yesterday. Click, copy, past, edit, copy paste. Oy.

I have Photobucket, is there some way to click click it's done?

You could just link to the album (as long as it is set for public viewing).

he means get the images off his computer onto the web. Oldtin is ding ding ding the winnar. It will take a long time and you will have to do it 3 times before you get PB to eat all your pics without throwing up.

do them in batches of say 25 use the multiple upload feature on photobucket (shift+select the photos you want at the 'select file' dialogue)

when you're done, click the select all button in your album and go to the end and click "generate tags" it will generate a bunch of poo hockey you can paste in here and all the images will be embedded or you can just link the album, which is a lot easier to do when there is over a dozen photos.

Use picasa and upload to the googles. It will do hundreds at a time w/o complaining.

I think flickr is good at uploading a bunch of pictures too. You already have an account if you have a yahoo.com email adress.

FTP the whole directory.

Technology is like a purse. We used to do things with a handful of keystrokes and slow connections. Now we have super-fast connections, and everything is done with horribly slow GUIs...

using photobucket, use the buld uploader and you can do 300 or more at a time. thats what i do for an enitre album when i up load. just let it run in the background anfd then go do something else online or else where in the house.

Thanks, but I'll poke at it. If nothing else there are two or three I really want to show you. It's so bizarre that I don't recognize the original vehicle brand.

Batch uploading is getting easier, but I need to find a way to automatically add the IMG tag code for an entire album of photos. The only thing that changes is the file name...

It takes me twice as long to add the links as it does to process, resize, set levels, convert to RGB, and watermark a gallery like the Pikes Peak or Monterey.

Sorry to be slightly off topic, but you guys offered good solutions for the OP's issue.
