Under Weblog settings, click on Images. Make sure that is set to "Upload
Images To My Weblog". Then click on Account, then "Update Account
Configuration". Basically it tells WLM what type of blog it is (like
WordPress) and how it should interact. Also, you didn't mention this, but
are you using the default "Insert Picture" or another plugin?

Re: Windows Live Writer

I am able to use Live Writer to post images to both Live Spaces and
Blogspot, without any problems.
Is there something unusual about your image? Is it on a local disk? Is it a
very large image? Is it a .jpg, or some other format?

Re: Windows Live Writer

I don't see a problem with that...
Do you get text to post ok?
If you right-click the red "x", and select "View image", can you see it?


You might ask in the Live Writer group...

Don't think so as I have posted pictures to my Spaces.

I'm wondering if the encoding for the .jpg may be at fault. Try this, just
do a test post. You can delete it from the blog control panel later. Try
posting a different graphic, and see if THAT works.

It's usually in whatever you use to save it. Win Paint, PaintShop Pro, etc.
Asks what of compression to use, blah, blah, blah.
