    OK…..I will be traveling out of the country for 10 days and want to be able to upload some pics directly to my blog from my digital camera. When I try, I get an error what says “file type does not meet security guidelines”. I am guessing that the image is too big coming directly from my camera. Normally I would put in my pc first and crop/reduce the file size but since I will be in a hotel, that is not an option. I can upload them to my facebook page just fine..but not my blog. Is there a way to do this?

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

    Accepted file types for images at wordpress.com are
    .jpg
    .jpeg
    .png
    .gif

    We have two options that I’m aware of. We can upload them from our own computers or by using the URL an image which already exists on another web site or domain.

    This method will not upload the document/file to your blog’s Media Library. Because it is hosted elsewhere, the file is removed from its location, the image will no longer work on your blog. See > http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/#from-url

    Well..since it’s coming from a camera memory card, it sounds like I may be out of luck on this one.
