Some of you may have found it troublesome that you must first upload to Flickr before you can use the images in WLW. Though not really a solution to this problem, there is a fix to make the uploading process faster. This will work only if you have Windows XP. I don’t think 2000 has this option, and I’m not sure about Vista.
Run this REG file: http://www.flickr.com/tools/wizard.reg
Now you can simply use the XP Photo Publishing Wizard (you’ll find it in sidebar in any folder with pictures) to upload to Flickr.

For other operating systems (98/2K/XP/Vista/Linux/Mac) or if you’d like to try another solution:
http://www.flickr.com/tools/
Here you’ll find lot more tools to easily upload images to Flicker.

Hope this helps!
Btw your solution in inserting images in WLW to post in Blogger is really good. This one added, it gets even better! :P

Dr. Iccapot!

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving the comment. Your suggestion was really nice but I guess you figured out the problem in it yourself :)

Anyway, I’ve got solution to your problem that although your blog is in Italian but you can make use of babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/) and apply the translator on your blog. That way, you’ll have reader from all sort of countries.

Sorry, not so nice as I thought….

Obviously Live Writer don’t upload images to Blogspot, but only its (ftp) address. So, when the htfs service is down, no more pics on your post!!!

Too late in the night to have a good idea….

Just found a nice workaround for uploading images without having hosting ftp services.
Here is how.
You need to install ‘HTTP File server software’ (hfs, for short) you can find, free, at this address: http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/
Run and configure it, assigning a port number (say: 1234) and Add to it an image folder from your disk.
Then, when in Windows Live Writer, select Insert Picture>Insert picture from Web. In the Picture URL box, insert your IP address, port and image file name (eg.:http://192.168.1.3:1234/TiddlyWiki/image1.gif).
That’s all.
More on my blog (sienadgt.blogspot.com); it is in italian (sorry!) but i’ll try to write a post in english (later.., it’s 3:25 AM here now!)
Hope this helps.

Phalgun, the only thing I can say is that if you have a solution to this problem, then why not share it with others as well. Maybe write it over here in comments or may be write it in a blog post on your blog :)

I’m sorry abhishek that I couldnt give the solution to the problem, when you actually required, but as you said that it will certainly help other bloggers :)

Thanks Amit of Desipundit for linking to the blog post :)
