Upload pictures, then they disappear
-
I have this problem every time I do a blog- when I upload more than one picture, sometimes the second, third, etc picture in a row shows up fine, then I go to preview and the picture(s) is gone and the first picture has the caption for it as well as the following two pictures. This is sooo frustrating! Help!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We always, always need a link to your blog, starting with http, in order to help with technical issues. In this case, we need a link to one of the posts where this has happened, and the browser you’re using and which version of it.

Sorry, I haven’t done this before. Here is my blog- http://nelsonz.wordpress.com/ I have corrected every one it has done it to, but it takes HOURS to correct, which is very frustrating. It happened on the post I did today w/ the parade pictures and the hiking pictures. I finally put a line of text in between each picture as I uploaded them, then took out the text before I uploaded it, but shouldn’t have to do that. Internet Explorer 8.

Thank you; now that I see the blog, it’s dead easy to explain. You have far too many images on your front page, which is huge. Your poor internet connection is basically collapsing before it can show you all the pictures.
Reduce the number of posts on the front page under Settings->Reading and that will help. What will help further is reducing the number of images per post, OR using the MORE tag to hide the majority of them behind an extra click on a Read More button.

Also some of your images are a little large file size wise. My suggestion is always to keep image under 75k in file size by optimizing them. Visitors will thank you for it – especially those on dialup (still quite a few) or show DSL (256k).
This FAQ gives some good advice on optimizing images: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/08/optimise-your-images/ .

I also have probles uploading images. I’ve tried to upload them from my web picasa album (http://picasaweb.google.es/marinabaixadreams/CallosaDEnSarriaRiuAlgar#) but the option in entries at wordpress doesn’t accept the URL that provides me picasa.
My blog address is: http://marinabaixadreams.wordpress.com/
Could you help me?

@marinabaixadreams: That’s probably because you’re trying to use the URLs of the picassa pages instead of the images themseleves. For instance, you can’t use this:
http://picasaweb.google.es/marinabaixadreams/CallosaDEnSarriaRiuAlgar#5355118908916065826
While you can use this:
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_PhJ9l-4Cqy0/SlE0RmfrZiI/AAAAAAAAADQ/4I8IwPnYXQw/carrer%20Sant%20Francesc.jpgBut it would be better to upload the images in your blog. This way the blog pages will load faster.

I uploaded a picture through gravitar and it still shows here but I don’t see it when I post on a WordPress forum (http://texasflds.wordpress.com/) now. It showed for part of a day but when I logged off and then logged back on it was gone. Any suggestions?

Nevermind — I figured it out. I apparently have two accounts; one as rianya and one as Rebeckah and I was posting (as I ususally do) as Rebeckah but I uploaded the picture as rianya. Sorry to bother. ;)
