Photo uploads...

Hey there!
I joined your site so I could post blogs and pictures for my family and friends to see, but am having trouble with the pics. They just won't upload...I'm not super computer savvy, so maybe it's me, but maybe you could give me some tips on how to use the picture uploader better. Thanks!

I feel your pain! I built the photo uploader to be quick and easy to use, but it seems to confuse and annoy roughly 98% of the people who try to use it the first time. You just might be the voice that finally sends me over the edge and forces me to rip it out and start over...

In the meantime, probably what's happening is that you're browsing for a photo and hitting the "Finished" button immediately. Seems harmless enough, but the way the thing is designed to behave, it will immediately start uploading the photo as soon as you browse for it. You should see a little progress bar show up at the bottom of the screen, and the filename box should clear itself out.

You can actually just keep browsing for and selecting photos as fast as your mouse will carry you, leaving that "Finished" button alone until you have your whole stack of photos posted.

Again, nobody ever figures this out the first time! I'll try to make it a bit more apparent what's going on for people who didn't write the thing.

Anyway, welcome aboard. Hope you stick around!

Hi Jason,

I'm now testing the website for a future trip I'm planning, and was wondering if you had any plans to add a batch upload option, perhaps in the form of a Firefox add-on?

Incidentally, I found the upload option to be very simple and easy to use for a sequential upload..
