Q: I haven’t received an activation email?
The most likely reason for this is that you either inserted the wrong email address when creating your blog or your email account is blocking emails from us thinking they are spam. First, try to create a new blog again… if it says your email is already in use then please try using a free email account, like those offered by Gmail or Yahoo.

Q: I can’t add images to my posts!
The main problem with adding images is issues with Abode, Wordpress and how the flash uploader works. If you are getting a white screen when you try to insert an image try each of the following:
1. After clicking on the Add an Image button choose the option to use the Browser uploader – this tends to have less problems
2. If still having a problem try clearing your cache, then close your web browser, restart up your web browser and log back into your blog dashboard. * here are the instructions for clearing your cache in Internet Explorer 6 * For FireFox and Internet Explorer 7 you can click on Ctrl + F5 keys together – this refreshes the page and clears the cache. * Alternatively follow these instructions for clearing your cache in Internet Explorer 7. 3. If clearing cache doesn’t work try updating your version of Adobe Flash.
Q: I can’t upload any photos, word documents, audio or videos to posts or pages. It says that “it is full”.
“It’s full” indicates you have used up your storage space. If you check on the left hand side of the main page of your blog dashboard it shows your ‘Total Storage space available’ and your ‘Upload space used’.
To reduce your ‘Upload space used’ you need to:
1. Go to Manage > Media Library and delete any images, documents, audio or video that you haven’t inserted into posts or pages
2. Make sure that you resize all images from digital cameras before uploading to your blog.
However if you are planning on uploading lots of large audio, video and document files to your blog you will need to be a BlogFloss supporter because this will give you 5 GB of storage space.
