  Every time I try to upload an image, the cropping device is above the “choose file” button, and it will not allow me to choose a file to upload a custom image, it just keeps making the cropping square. How can I fix this?

  What browser are you using?

  Safari.

  If you could use a different one, Camino or Firefox or whatever, it might solve the problem. Safari and WordPress are not getting along very well lately.

  Firefox works, but will this always be a problem? I really prefer Safari.

  It will be a problem for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, Safari doesn’t recognize the kind of javascript used by WordPress and that impacts your ability to fill in forms, upload images, all kinds of dynamic things. I wouldn’t expect this to get resolved within a couple of months, although it might be by the end of this year.

  You might want to use Ecto or another Mac-compatible offline blog editor. They have a lot of functionality, including tags and categories, and they work just fine with WordPress.
