As most of us in this "tagging" community are well aware of by now, Photobucket decided to change their TOU on June 28, 2017.  To get updated on this new TOU click HERE

What this does now is prohibits the use of their service to link to your images.  This includes if you post their link on your blog to a blinkie, or link to a forum signature, etc.  Unless of course, you want to pay $39.99 PER MONTH (aka $400/year) for this service.  None of their cheaper monthly plans as of this posting do NOT allow for third party hosting.

As a result, I have found some alternative image hosting sites which are linked below:

FTU

Imgbox

Imgur

Nickpic Host*

PTU:

Fotki

*This represents my service of choice for the time being.  It appears to have the same interface qualities as Photobucket (which is why this was appealing to me) with none of the ad issues Photobucket had in recent months and is currently free.

That said, I would love very much to include some more of my favorite blogs to follow, stores I love and blogtrains, however, with the widespread Photobucket mess, I will wait until links are updated.

IF you wish to provide me a link to your button in the meantime, feel free to email me at abbykat75ATgmailDOTcom OR find me on FB! 

Thanks for dropping by!
