Can’t Add Image to Post in Wordpress

You might have noticed a shortage of visual awesomeness on the blog, and for good reason: I could not add pictures to the blog automatically.

Using the “Add media” button on the Write Post page would allow me to upload an image, but when I hit the button to insert the image into post, the window would go white, and just stop.

I spent a few hours reading everything, and trying several different options - including modifying the .htaccess file, changing directory permission, changing the upload path, modifying the website url to be all lower case, removing the ‘www.’ from the website url and much, much more.

I did eventually get it working. Know what I did?

I didn’t use Flock.

Using IE7, and Firefox 2.x everything works fine. Using Flock 2.0b2, I can’t get it to work. I don’t have mozilla 3 on this machine, and I’m wondering if it will work. I’ve been using Flock for the 30 day challenge because of the nice integration with several of the social networking tools, but I’ll have to see if it’s really worth it, and how much I can do with Firefox. But that’s for another day - it’s 3:00am and I’m done for now.

What a pain - another 3 hours of my life down the tube.
