Problems Uploading Pictures? Try This Process

In my work as a network troubleshooter, I work on many problems similar to this photo upload problems situation. We have:

  • Multiple people.
  • Multiple computers, all different.
  • Different browsers used.
  • Clearing cookies.
  • Some work in Compose mode, others Edit Html.
  • Incanting various runes and spells, while they work.

and some are successful in uploading photos, others not. WTF?

In my professional opinion (FWTW), this indicates at least two separate problems, in various combinations, causing variant symptoms.

Maybe we have a breakthru. In Google - Blogger Help - Publishing, we have pictures by trial and error... maybe help?, by Theodor.

By trial and error I found that when starting a posting by first
- giving some enters
- upload allt the pictures
- AFTER THAT adding my texts
has been working most of the times.


That agrees with MY experiences anyway. This is how I make a post with pictures.

  1. I look at all of my pictures.
  2. Sort them in the right sequence.
  3. Upload in reverse sequence. The upload process always puts each new picture on top of the previously uploaded picture.
  4. Go thru the code, insert breaks, captions, and other punctuation.
  5. Make one last look at the post as a whole.
  6. Publish Post.

If you try to add pictures to an existing post, and run into problems, start a new post. You can always add links between the two posts.

I'll be very surprised if, following this procedure, everybody's problems were to completely vanish. But I'll bet some will see an improvement. It may be possible to identify the other problems, if we can solve ONE problem. I think that this is a start in the right direction.

Patience, persistence, and publicity.

Adding A Link To Your Blog Post

Occasionally, you see a very odd, cryptic complaint I just added a link in my blog, but the link vanished! No, it wasn't your imagination.

Embedded Comments And Main Page View

The option to display comments, embedded below the post, was made a blog option relatively recently. This was a long requested feature - and many bloggers added it to their blogs, as soon as the option was presented to us. Some blog owners like this feature so much, that they request it to be visible when the blog is opened, in main page view. I would like all comments, and the comment form, to be shown underneath the relevant post, automatically, for everyone to read without clicking on the number of comments link. And this is not how embedded comments work.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

We see the plea for help, periodically I need the URL of my blog, so I can give it to my friends. Help! Who's buried in Grant's Tomb, after all? No Chuck, be polite. OK, OK. The title of this blog is "The Real Blogger Status", and the title of this post is "What's The URL Of My Blog?".
