A question. I've got my test site up and running, and also have been able to publish blogs from livewriter. Now I would like the ability to compose a blog in livewrtiter, using in-line pictures, and then post to my blog...is that possible?

I can layout the content just fine in livewriter, I added the ftp account, but whenever I publish, the picture just ends up being a link on the post, instead of displayed on the post? Is that the only way it works? or have I set it up incorrectly?

Great product so far...thanks.

Yes, I did, but the first time I tried to post pictures it told me "the blog does not support picture publishing", do you want to configure ftp for picture publishing?", so I did, and it works except the pictures show up as links instead of embedded in my post.

So two questions:

1. Should I have to use ftp for picture publishing? or should it have worked anyway?

2. If I do have to use FTP, what are the correct directories to use? I pointed the files to the 'media' directory, maybe I picked the wronf sub-dir to use and that is why they show up as links.

Thanks!

I suspect you are right about it being permissions - I am running on the rackspacecloud and I had to manually create a bunch of directories to get the install to work (from another post here on your site).

Do you know the names of the directories that need to be created? I would like to try and create them manually to see if it solves the problem.
