there's no nice way to say it.
blogger is being a dick.
it won't let me post pictures. so imagine my annoyance when yesterday i decided to crack open the fortune cookie that's been sitting on my kitchen counter for over a week convinced that it was my perfect fortune for right that second and the cookie said: One door closes and another opens, and I laughed out loud because it was so perfectly true and i thought, i'll post a picture of the fortune on my blog with a quirky one sentence line referencing Reading Rainbow and once again...BLOGGER WOULDN'T LET ME.
like i said, dick.
(okay. agreed. the language isn't at all appropriate for a YA market, but come on, 50 percent of us have them, and another 15 percent of us is (are?) one, so censors - tranquilo).
being the emotionally mature woman that i am, i know that every bump in the road is a personal affront against me, so naturally, last night my mind wandered to all the reasons blogger wouldn't post my pictures: maybe even blogger has something against my $45 a month cheapy smart phone and it was giving me a lesson in you get what you pay for. (when does bigger is better not apply? when it's talking about pixels) or maybe blogger is holding a grudge because i chose to keep the tacky wallpaper background for my blog and never upgraded to, i dunno, post-modern white.
but onward! like cream in coffee, who needs pictures on a blog? (um.... wait, i'm also out of cream?!) it works just as well without.
and now, my week in (non-pictorial) review.
maybe it's not a good thing to tell your hairdresser, screw it. let's use bleach on those roots and really lighten them up!! on the other hand, i always did want to have cartoon character yellow hair:

okay. fine. blogging doesn't work as well without pictures. not at all. just as my cup of coffee right now is really, very disgusting without cream. but that doesn't change the fact that my fortune cookie was true. when one door closes, as is my case these past few weeks, about a THOUSAND open. and life becomes so wonderful, you don't even give a darn when web platforms that are supposed to be simplifying your life and making you accessible to the world, decide instead to act like a dickhead.

yup. that's how she ended that one.
Blogger is always a dick :| I'd try switching browsers. Mine eventually stopped letting me post photos at all from Internet Explorer. HUZZAH.
ReplyDeleteAnother trick is to upload the pics to a host site like photobucket.com first (it's free) and then upload the LINK to the picture, rather than the picture itself... Might help? :/
