  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello,

  Just wondering – are you using the latest version of your browser? Normally image upload errors are caused by an outdated version of your browser or a slow internet connection… If your browser version is old, could you please update the same and try again?

  Thank you for the answer. My browser is up to date and my internet is fast on all other sites.

  Hi,

  If your internet connectivity is good and if your browser is updated, the reason why your pictures take time to upload could be because your images are large. It’s a good idea to compress images before you upload them. This not only helps in faster uploads, but will also ensure that your blog loads faster than before. You may want to check these links:
