blogger frustration

The test pizza photo...


Once more I am having trouble adding photos to my blog. It seems a setting has changed on my computer in iPhoto and the photos are too large for blogger to accept, without paying for the upgrade for storage. Last night I tried to write a post and I couldn't get my photos to load. It was late, I was frustrated, and finally gave up. I guess until I figure it out I will have to go through one more step for each photo.

Maybe I shouldn't be such a cheapskate and start paying.

... at least the pizza was delicious!

blogger frustration

This blog has been around since 2007, and I knew this would happen eventually...

I reached my photo storage limit in blogger :-(

I can only add new photos that are small unless I pay for extra storage on picasa. I made this discovery when I changed my header (see puny picture above). Now I can't get my old winter scene header back.
There must be a way I can find the other photo in picasa and put it back but in the layout editing. Blogger wants me to put in a web address for the photo but I can't locate it in picasa... at least not yet.

Evidently I can host my photos on Jeff's website OR resize everything before uploading,  but that means another step in the process. I prefer to keep it simple because I do need to get other stuff done throughout the day!
I knew there was a storage limit and stupidly thought I would be prepared with the gypsy potters blogspot BUT, I did a DUMB thing. I didn't open a totally new account associated with a new e-mail address and picasa account.

My other thought was that this might be a good time to switch to a new format and ditch blogger all together. I am just not sure I have time for that right now.
If anyone has any insight or suggestions, I would appreciate hearing from you.

On the bright side... the firing was done by 10:00 pm last night. Here is a pic (a resized version of course) of the door with flames licking out of it...

at this point it's always a good idea to push the door back in... but it's fun to see that fire!!!
