I tried to do this. Photobucket wouldn't let me sign in. It kept repeating the "type this weird code" and never would accept it. I got pissed and signed out of it.
I still don't understand where or how you get the long winded code or link or whatever that tells where you want the photo to go.
Sorry I have an attitude but this stuff isn't obvious to some of us.
Any plain language help will be appreciated.
thanks,

Find a teenager. Offer Pizza, and position (before Pizza consumption) at your computer. Tell the teen what you want. Be amazed by speed of action, do NOT try and follow or understand. Demand clear instructions how to 'log in' next time, etc.
Failing that.
The "type this weird code" bit is usually a number / letter question to check you are a real person who can read messed up letters and type it in - and not a computer doing it for dodgy reasons.
Having just checked how to register on photobucket, I'm asked to type in a number letter code. Once you've done that you have set up an account. You then need to 'upload' photos from your computer onto the Photobucket website. From there, you can easily copy the link to each photo into your post here, enabling us all to see your photos. It's very hard to explain how to do this over the internet; but if you've registered on WIX, you can do it on photobucket. It's essentially the same process.
Given there's a limited number of correct ways to get it right and an infinite number of ways to misunderstand and get it wrong, I'd advise you find someone with some web savvy and get them to help you. Here (Australia) and in the UK you can ask at your local library; dunno about where you are, but ask around.
PS: The 'plain language' plea come up all the time. Just like in aviation, there's a very precise and standardised vocabulary which you need to learn; 'explaining' those terms can be done, it's just easier in the long run to learn to talk the language. I'm reliably informed that pilots can use computers, but it's often an ego dent that computers aren't awed by the flightsuit.
Getting ratty with a computer's not worth it; they'll tough you out every time. HTH.
