Frustration, thy name is Google!

I have been trying for 3 weeks now to upload photos to my blog without success.  I have written to Google several times and have neither had a reply nor have they fixed my problem.  This is so frustrating as I have several blog posts that I wish to put up.  If they don't fix it soon people will assume my blog is "dead" and move on!  Disaster!!!!!  I have been contemplating moving my blog to Weebly so that it is with my website, but at the moment I would much prefer for my blog to stay where it is.  Has anyone else out there with a Google Blogger Blog been experiencing this problem?  I have tried everything suggested in "help" to no avail and it is definitely not a problem at my end.

On a more positive note, my new heater has arrived at the store and will be installed Thursday next week.  That will be nearly 10 weeks exiled from my studio and my work!  I'm dying to get back to work.  My sanity is in peril with every day that I cannot make art.

Can you please let me know whether or not you are having problems uploading photos to blogger?  It will help me track down a cause for my problems and hopefully get me back to blogging. Pin It

I hate the upload interface. I upload my images to flickr instead, and hotlink from my blog.

Thanks for this.

you have probably already done this but do you have enough space left in your picassa account (which blogger uses to store photos you upload to blogger - or at least they used to)? if the space is used up you either have to delete photos or find another host for them. i use flickr as well, a pro account is 25/year for unlimited and it's pretty simple to link from there.

Actually, Dizzle, I had no idea that Google stored my images on Picassa. I went and had a look and apparently I have only used up 69 per cent of my allocation, so theoretically I should still be able to upload photos. I discovered that if you delete the photos from Picassa they will also be deleted from your blog. Not good! Thanks for the heads up.

Interestingly I just tried uploading an image and got a message about the server being down. Don't know what's going on, but it's definitely at their end and nothing to do with me.
