3rd January Nice review of Silverwolf from JoJo the Bookaholic:

Catching Up

Apologies in advance for bombarding you with upcoming movie logs and book logs. I have at least five movies to catch up with and seven or eight books. I've been so busy putting Nimbus to bed that I haven't caught up with my logs. Please bear with me. There will be a flurry and then it will be back to the usual steady rate.

Am I the thickest person on the planet?

I know I managed it last time, but today I simply can't  post an image to my Dreamwidth blog, so I'm piling up movie-of-the-week posts and booklog posts. I paste the URL into the Insert/edit image panel, but all I get is the broken picture image.

If DW was based originally on LiveJournal, why on earth can't it simplify the way it handles images? LJ's image uploading was a doddle. I can't believe that DW will only take images from the web, so I can't post them from my computer (unless I set up the whole email posting thing, which also seems to have drawbacks in terms of formatting, i.e. pics at the end of the blogpost, not integrated). I don't do Instagram, so if I have an image on my hard drive am I supposed to post it to a website before I can upload it to DW? What a palaver!

Your input welcome. Thanks.
