  Hi there!

  Are your images currently being stored into iPhoto? iPhoto handles images in a weird way that makes them hard to reach by other programs (like web browsers.)

  You’ll first need to export your images out of iPhoto to somewhere else on your mac:

  Once you’ve done that, you can upload those image files into your Media Library here on WordPress.com
