Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Romancing The Blog #4

My latest column is now live over at Romancing The Blog.

Also, I'm still having issues with posting pictures on my blog! I see other Bloggers aren't having problems. Mine just aren't loading. I've even gone so far as to uninstall and reinstall Hello Bloggerbot. Anyone have any insight that might help me? I'm seriously beginning to get cheesed off.

I'm glad you used your soul mate column. I was hoping you'd come back to it.

I hope you're able to figure out the photo problem. I have a website where I post my pictures, so I just link to them directly. Hopefully someone else who uses Hello will have some ideas.

What is your usual process of posting images via Hello bloggerbot?

You may have to write something in the caption area to get it posted.

Maili:
I do post something in the caption field, but when I hit "post" the image seems to get stuck in "Uploading Image - This may take a few seconds" mode. More like several minutes - and it never does post.

Oh well. For a while I thought it was just my work computer - but the same thing is happening from my home machine as well.

That actually wasn't my first soul mate column. My original column was more a rant on the soul mate theme used specifically in werewolf romances. I basically rewrote the piece to encompass all sub genres - mainly because I've seen it across the board.

It's just the sudden spike of werewolf romances has made my distaste of the soul mate theme more prevalent :)

Can I ask why you are not reading Master of the Moon?

Wendy said...

Shayera:
Because I'm in idiot! That's supposed to be "now reading" not "not reading!"

Geez. Must..Have..More..Caffeine...

Oh that problem. Yes, it's been plaguing a lot of Hello users. I had that problem, too. The problem is with Hello/Picasa.

I took another way round by downloading the Picasa2 program [which includes various functions, including Blogger and Hello] and for some reason it works. Hope this helps. :) x

Wendy said...

I'll have to try that Maili. I originally didn't download Picasa, and was just loading my pictures from Explorer. Maybe if I download Picasa, Hello will be more cooperative.

And here I thought Master of the Moon just sucked and I had good reason not to buy it. Hmmm...I seem to have trouble finishing Angela Knight books. I have bookmarked halfway through both Jane's Warlord and Master of the Night.
