Yes there are some glitches and it varies from person to person. So sorry you are having issues!!  I have been able to post and upload new and feature photos. But I have had severalposts where one of the photos disappears. I recommend saving your work as you go. Maybe after publishing you can go back and edit and add the photos again. Another browser might work, too!

Debra Leisek - I am really sorry that you have a difficult time loading the pictures.

I'd suggest clearing cooking or restarting the tab or the browser. Sometimes a small trick like this works miraculously.

Uploading pictures can be a challenge. Press the picture with the mountain in it next to the spell check. Once the window comes up browse your pictures and then upload. Hope this helps.
