If there is anything you dont understand, or anything that doesn't work, post a reply. This tutorial is one my own creations, but I did it about a year ago for my own use, so it may not make proper sense to some

I dont know why that is happening, but maybe its the website u r using. Wat website do you use to host ur pics? maybe its the name of one of ur pics as well. I dunno. But if you post the tutorial with just ordinary links using the http:// tags I will try and sort it out
