Thank you for your patience!

As you can see, my blog is finally back to normal! I just wanted to thank everyone for putting up with the overwhelming amount of images saying that I was out of bandwidth. I heard from many other people today that they were dealing with the same situation. Unfortunately, many of them still are. Luckily, after doing a bit of searching, I found out that there is a way to get Photobucket Pro for free (I am a fan of free). That means I hopefully won't have to worry about this happening again, which certainly gives me piece of mind.

Since I found out a way to save, I figured I'd pass on this information to all of you. Hopefully the information will be helpful to many of you who are publishers of blogs and other websites.

How to get a free Photobucket Pro account

Step 1: Go to http://photobucket.com/upgrade. You will then come to a page that looks like this:

Step 2: Click where is says 'Go Pro for FREE.' In the picture above, you will see I circled in red where you need to click.

Step 3: Choose an offer to get Photobucket for free for 1 year (a savings of $39.95USD). See the picture below for an example of what this page looks like. Some of the offers you have to pay for, however many are free. I chose one that is a 7 day free trial for an online game site called GameHouse. All I have to do is cancel before the 7 days and I will not be charged, plus I get to keep a year of Photobucket Pro for free. I have done this kind of thing before and it has worked great. I use Roboform (a form filling software) all the time and this is how I got that for free. Not only will I have Photobucket Pro free for a year but I will also get to play some new games for the next week!


Step 4: Keep an eye on your email. Most of the offers will activate within 24 hours and you will get an email tited 'TrialPay Completed Transaction: How to Access Photobucket Pro.' Many offers do not take 24 hours to receive; I received mine within about 2 hours.

Step 5: The email you receive from Photobucket will provide you with step by step instructions on what to do next. Use the step by step instructions in the email you received from Photobucket to activate your Photobucket Pro subscription.

Step 6: Now that you have gone through all the above steps, when you go to your 'account options' on the top right hand side of the Photobucket page (make sure you are logged in), it should show your updated status. It will look like this but with your own information:


Finally, you will also receive an email from Photobucket welcoming you to your Photobucket Pro subscription.


I hope this helps a few of you. Today was a day that I actually hoped I had a lower number of visitors, just to reduce the number of people seeing my blog in the mess it was. I admit, it was slightly embarrassing having both of my blogs looking the way they did. Luckily, you all put up with this mishap! :) Again, I just want to thank everyone for hanging in there and continuing to read my blog and enter all my giveaways!


If any of you need more help with this process, please send me an email. I'd be happy to help you out!
