  Two days ago I could upload images directly from my computer. Now I have no other choice but to upload to my “gallery” Nothing will upload even though the file is less than the max of bites allowed and I am getting an html error. I do not think I have gone beyond my limit for pictures. Please tell me how to fix this. I was not aware of making any changes to my account.

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

  No to worry as there is a post editor with all features you can use right on the dashboard of your own blog.

  There has been a change to the post editor interface at https://wordpress.com/post/ and Staff are recommending that we bypass the New Dash in favor of posting directly on our sites at Dashboard > Posts > Add New. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/where-did-the-add-media-button-go?replies=2#post-1927520

  For image uploading please note the Staff response here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-is-there-now-only-small-pictures-in-the-post-can-i-get-them-big-again?replies=3#post-1927594

  There will be further new iterations of the post editor at https://wordpress.com/post/ and that is why the advice is to go to Dashboard > Post > Add New

  Two days ago I could upload images directly from my computer. Now I have no other choice but to upload to my “gallery” Nothing will upload even though the file size is less than the max of bites allowed. I keep getting an html error message with only one option…to dismiss it. I do not think I have gone beyond my limit for pictures. Please tell me how to fix this. I was not aware of making any changes to my account.

  The blog I need help with is terramere.wordpress.com.
