How to Upload Photos to Blogger Using Windows 10

A quick google will show it's a common issue.

I upgraded my desktop to Windows 10. Works great! Except for uploading photos to your blog on Blogger (like this one).

When you click on the "insert image" icon, a window pops up that makes you choose whether you'd like to upload from your computer or from a URL link. Unfortunately, this window just freezes whatever you do. You will have to close the Blogger tab.  I use Windows Edge but I read this is the same issue regardless of browser.

I found a way to do it, not elegant, but it works. Here are the steps:

1. Upload your photo/s to a photo hosting site. I use Photobucket.
2. Start your post on Blogger. When you want to insert an image, DON"T CLICK ON THE ICON!
3. Instead, go to your photo hosting site (Photobucket) and copy the HTML link to your photo. It's the one that starts with the symbol "<" followed by "a href="
4. Paste the link into your post.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other photos you want to insert.
6. Publish
7. When you view your blog you will see the photos. If it's the perfect size, congratulations! You've done it!

If you need to resize the photos, edit your post and click on the photo to choose the desired size and position/justification. Update.

It's cumbersome but it works!
