How do people post pictures on Dreamwidth again? I tried with photobucket and it did not work.

In your Photobucket Library or Album, click directly on the picture you want to post. When that picture comes up again (by itself if you have several in Photobucket already) to the right side will be a 'share this photo' section. There will be four choices. Copy the text in the box that is labeled HTML (depending on your system clicking on the box may do it automatically). Then paste that directly into your post at the spot you want it. I'm not sure whether the picture will show up when you preview, but it absolutely will when it posts. (You can keep your Photobucket 'locked' and post pictures here from it, which is the way I've always done it here and in LJ.)

ETA: Oh, yeah be sure your DW editor says HTML instead of Rich Text above the words 'disable auto-formatting' on the upper right hand side or it likely will not work!

Oh thank you!

Yippee Kai Yay! It worked! It actually worked!

That was the only drawback to DW that I'd found -- the inability to post pics.
