Great walkthrough, thanks for taking the time to create and share it.

I'd be interested in hearing (and maybe this would be better for another topic - I don't want to hijack your thread) what others use and prefer to upload their photos.  I'm on a Mac and I use the Flickr uploader, it's drag and drop and has all the benefits of flickr.  One annoyance with flickr however is their is no way to quickly grab BB code to post in forums - this is something Photobucket does perfectly.
