Playing with Wordpress.com’s photo uploading

by on November 28, 2005

Let’s play with this. I’m trying to upload a photo with Wordpress.com’s photo uploading capabilities. If that doesn’t work, there’s always our Europe photo book on Flickr.

There must be something wrong with my connection because I can’t get the Wordpress.com editor to come up here. It’s been that way most of the trip. Sometimes it comes up after a couple of minutes. Oh well. I’ll try again in the morning.

Speaking of photos, tonight I got an alpha of Riya and uploaded our photos to that too. That’s a lot of fun! Albeit the UI is a bit rough (sometimes selecting the right square to enter a name into is pretty tough). But, I can see that this is going to be a hit. And, yes, Microsoft has something similar under development, but, we aren’t going to get recognition for getting it out first, that’s for sure. Yes, I wish we had acquired Riya. Oh, Riya a Riya!

  • I can't get it to work yet. I tried to upload a photo from the Egg Bowl, but no dice.
  • Why not use BlogJet? ;) Here's a tip on how to configure it to upload pictures to WordPress.com:

    finally...i've been saying this over and again...glad to see Scoble let out a lil development secret :)
  • I can upload image from my computer, use Flock.
    Perhaps something related with browser ?
    Using opera, the editing toolbar not show up.
  • With RocketPost you can actually post entire albums to WordPress quickly:

  • I've had problems with the wordpress.com editor since last week. No solution so far, so it's not your connection... :-(
  • Yep, it really seems hard to work with images with WP - wish for an UI that I can copy and paste an image into, that would be simpler!

    In the meantime, I've resorted to uploading to Flickr, and adding images as a regular link. BTW it needs to end with a .jpg or a recognized image extension otherwise WP chokes on it.
