  I am having the same problem. I have tried with different pictures that have uploaded previously with no problem and the problem has been going for days. Would love to hear how you resolve this. Thanks!

  There has been a change to the post editor interface at https://wordpress.com/post/ and Staff are recommending that we bypass the New Dash in favor of posting directly on our sites at Dashboard > Posts > Add New. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/where-did-the-add-media-button-go?replies=2#post-1927520

  For image uploading please note the Staff response here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-is-there-now-only-small-pictures-in-the-post-can-i-get-them-big-again?replies=3#post-1927594

  There will be further new iterations of the post editor at https://wordpress.com/post/ and that is why the advice is to go to Dashboard > Post > Add New

  For inserting images see http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/

  For image editing see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/image-editing/

  Thanks for the notice. Mine is actually working now. I received an “Internet wants to block content” message during my last posting attempt, which I ignored. The uploads then were carried out properly. Don’t know if there’s cause and effect in this, though.

  Good to know but don’t forget what Staff recommend about where to create your posts. Staff are recommending that we bypass the New Dash in favor of posting directly on our sites at Dashboard > Posts > Add New.

  Posting through the dashboard solved it for me. Thanks!
