This is best accomplished with a Web browser with TAB browsing.  That way you can have both your Photobucket/YouTube page open and your SSA POST open.  Use the Preview button often to see the results before you're finished.*

Adding pics
Upload your pics to any Web site that accepts pictures, like Photobucket, for instance.  Now that you've uploaded your pics, open another browser TAB for SSA.  When you're ready to upload your pic, go back into the other TAB, right-mouse click the picture you wish to add to your SSA post and select Copy Image Location.  Go back to the SSA TAB, place your mouse pointer where you want the pic to go, select the Insert Image tool (it will place the HTML codes to your post automatically), and paste your link. (both SSA & SCR sites work the same)

Web Hyperlinks
For Web hyperlinks, let's say this was your video >> GSXR 1000.  It's YouTube Web URL is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLcktwhZViM&feature=related
You'll want to tie it to some text, like Lookie at me on my Gixxxr, so that when someone clicks this text it launches the link to your video.
Highlight the entire URL, Copy, then go back to your SSA page, highlight the Lookie... text, then select the Insert Hyperlink tool.  It will put this: <url>Lookie at me on my Gixxxr[/url] (except URL will have brackets around it too).
Last, put an '=' after <url> so it looks like this <url=> and PASTE your YouTube URL (above) after the '=' sign.

This will be the result:  Lookie at me on my Gixxxr  (SCR's Web site adds URLs the same way you add Images, so none of this work is required)

Combining the two
If you want to get fancy, once you've added your pic, highlight it's link from beginning tag to ending tag and add a URL link to it just as you did above.  For instance, like this linked pic.


* In HTML, everything that begins, should end.  So any HTML tag that is started like <url=http://www.....> will have a corresponding </url>, where the "/" is representative of ending that HTML tag.
