  You are probably trying to upload a bmp image. The accepted file types are: Images .jpg .jpeg .png .gif See here please > accepted file types

  No. I am adding the same images as i’ve been adding since starting my blogs. I have two blogs, and one is for my artwork and they are always jpg. I did, however, just switch to Google Chrome and managed to upload without the error. So something to do with IE perhaps?

  Oh thanks very much for that link, i never realised it was a known thing with IE, i thought perhaps there was a security problem with my blog LOL Phew, now i’m relieved. I think i’ll stick with Google Chrome from now on. Thanks very much for your help ;)

  You’re welcome. I use Firefox 10.0.2 and I avoid all Chrome and IE issues by doing so. (hint!) ;)
