  When I try to upload from my I photo library I keep getting a message that says error file not allowed? How do access my iPhoto library for my blog pictures? I am a new user!

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

  Hi there,

  iPhoto handles image files in a way that’s easy to work with in iPhoto, but a little hard to get to the files themselves. The easiest way to get them onto your WordPress site is to first export them by selecting the files in iPhoto, then click File, then Export. Follow the menus and save the files to your desktop for now. I found a guide here if you’d more step-by-step:

  Now that your image files can be found easily, just add them to your Media Library (or directly into a post) by following this guide:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/uploading-images/

  That guide also has information on “insert from a URL” here:

  Let me know if those links help, or if you have more questions.

  Best,
