Picture (Not-so) Perfect
Filed Under (Blogger, I Am) by iris on 23-06-2008
For the past couple of days, I’ve been trying to figure out how to upload pictures on my blog. Oh, it’s not that I don’t know how, it’s that it won’t let me. This is the first problem I’ve encountered since I started a self-hosted site (am I using the correct term?) a few days ago.
As it turns out, this is common problem with Wordpress 2.5.1. After poking around a bit (and a rather frantic message to Matt in Facebook), I found a myriad of ‘solutions’ ranging from upgrading Flash and Java, to updating source codes. It was enough to make my head spin, Linda Blair style. So I took the path of least resistance and decided to install a plugin (that’s at least something I know how to do) to disable the Flash uploader and just use a rather basic one instead. Thankfully, it worked. You can now see Jollibee smiling happily in what used to be the barren landscape of my blog.
So there you go. I have just managed to fix my first ever technical problem on my own, a feat that’s pretty much wasted because my camera (or should I say, my mum’s camera that I borrowed) decided to die on me for no discernible reason. And this was after I bought a special USB cable that cost me 700 baht just so I can upload my pictures. Obviously, I’m not happy, not happy at all.
So until I can figure out what’s wrong with this piece of shit camera, you’ll have to put up with ol’ big butt over here.









and that is why you are called goddess… you just never give up! =)
@Mahal: Yeah, goddess of unlucky people, more like.
I had that problem also with doing my own hosted site. They told me it was in there security and they changed it for me. You have a great site. Take care.

@Bill: Yeah, I did hear something about that, but I couldn’t be bothered to email or call my host. LOL. Anyhow, the ‘no flash uploader’ works just fine.
