  I cannot upload photos. When I click on Insert Photo, it stays on UPLOADING forever and never actually uploads the image.

  I have managed to upload pictures in earlier blogs, but it has been very difficult. I often have to try again and again and again. I recently switched to Blogger.com and have had no problems uploading pictures, but I would rather blog with WordPress.

  What do I do to fix this problem?

  Hi there,
  (1) How are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Also note that the main dashboard isn’t designed to work with touch devices through the tablet and smartphone browsers.

  (2) Exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you don’t know click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/

  (3) Is this the guide you are using?

  Thank you!

  Actually I just downloaded Google Chrome (I was using Internet Explorer) and it is working now.

  Thanks again!
