The photos on my site, I take with a digital camera, then use Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard to move them to my computer. Blogspot then has a feature to search my cpu for photo files, open-upload-picture can be left , right or center , and there you have it. I do have photobucket but have not needed to use it for my blogspot site to this date, and I have probably close to 100 photos scattered through out the site. I do believe though, that on photobucket one of the menu's you can crop your photos. Just browse around on their pull down menu's and I am sure they have such a feature.
