 * Here’s a quick update:
 * How many folks are also redirecting/morphing URLs/URNs for your blogs?
 * One detail I just noticed before because I didn’t check the JS console output
   on my browsers until after I posted earlier is this:
 * When I was hitting my blog using a redirected URL, I am getting the following
   JS error:
    `Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.
   send_to_editor`
 * When I see that, I sometimes think there’s a problem with cross-site scripting,
   depending on the object being fetched.
 * So I deliberately tried hitting my blog with its plain longer URL, and the JS
   error goes away, and I can Insert to Post.
 * Funny, eh?

 * This has been an odd problem that I’ve experienced since installed WP 2.5 fresh(
   just started blogging!) and has continued since after upgrading to WP 2.5.1.
 * I predominantly use a Mac for blogging, and the 2 browsers I use are Firefox 
   2.x and Safari 3.1.1. On both, under normal browser usage, I have no problems
   uploading new images to the blog, but once I try the “Insert to Post” button 
   in the Add Media pop-up dialog, the entire dialog turns blanked-out white except
   for the Close Dialog “X” button in the upper-right corner. Once I exit out of
   the dialog, there’s nothing inserted into the HTML of the post, but the Media
   Library clearly shows that the images were uploaded and associated with the post.
 * Based upon what a previous poster wrote, I tried the following:
    1. On an opened browser, I opened a New Browser Window.
    2. I went to my blog and immediately logged in to write a new post.
    3. I typed in some demo text.
    4. I hit Add Media.
    5. The Add Media dialog came up.
    6. I specified a local file to upload to the blog. I waited for the upload to complete,
       and filled in some file info.
    7. For the URL, I cleared out the field. I could also just click that None button.
       That doesn’t seem to matter.
    8. I then clicked the Insert to Post.
 * At that point, the Insert to Post works; if I look at the HTML, I will see the
   img tag placed properly. If I highlight OR delete the image I just inserted, 
   and click the Add Media again to re-do this, I can actually hit the Insert to
   Post **without** clearing out the URL field, and it will insert the correct HTML
   with the URL tag and the img tag properly.
 * It really seems as if there’s a toggle/boolean/flag/state that’s not being properly
   accounted for. If I deviate from the procedure I listed above, I can’t use the
   Insert to Post, so I get the blanked-white dialog. Also, the procedure only works
   for that single post; if I start another post, it won’t work unless I close out
   the current browser window pointing to the blog and open a brand-new browser 
   window. The procedure will also work once for an existing post, so when I go 
   to Manage > Posts, and pick a draft or even a published post straight-away, and
   perform my workaround, then I can use Insert to Post.
 * Anybody with similar experiences?
 * BTW, I tried editing the wp-admin/includes/media.php, but that didn’t matter 
   for my blog.
 * BBTW, this is one of the reasons why I’m searching for a decent blogging client…
   🙂
