   When I upload photos from my computer, they only seem to show up if you go first to my homepage and THEN to my blog page. If you try to go directly to the blog post using the permalink, the posts are "empty".

   My interim solution has been to upload all images to photobucket...because for some reason, images uploaded via the url function show up just fine now matter how you get to them.

   What am I doing wrong?

   Here is a permalink to a post where I inserted photos from my computer...there should be two images. But you won't see them if you use the link below.

   I don't get it. My blog designer has no clue either. It's really annoying to have to first upload my pics to pb, not to mention having to pay for the service when I should be able to just do it from my own files!

   Is it possible that you've enabled some sort of image hotlink protection with your web hosting/control panel?

   Yep, every word was english. Where'd I lose you?

   (you might try a web search on "hotlink protection" and see if that helps you)

   Thanks, Chris -- I did a little searching around and found that the hotlink protection may not be the culprit. Instead, I noticed something a little more odd: the location where my pictures ACTUALLY are versus where they are linked to on my site are different. It's like something happens when the link is created for the blog post. Here's an example of what I mean:

   1) http://liferearranged.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_3036-570x427.jpg
   2) http://liferearranged.com/2010/04/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_3036-570x427.jpg

   My actual picture is at (1) but the webpage points to (2). WOuld there be a reason that WordPress is throwing in that /2010/04 randomly into the picture link when I post?
