Blog.usf.edu actually has a subscription mechanism called RSS (Really Simple Syndication). What you do is take our RSS link (http://blog.usf.edu/?feed=rss2) and insert it into a RSS reader program (A popular web-based one is Google Reader), and the reader will automatically load new posts for you to read as they are published. You can do this for as many blogs as you are interested in, and it is a convenient way to access all of your favorite blog content in one place. As for email notifications, I understand that the free Feedburner service (http://www.feedburner.com/) can notify you via email when new posts are made. This is also a Google product. -Amin tonkin-

However, I do have a workaround for you in the meantime: I recommend that you get an image hosting account via free services like Picasa or Flickr: http://picasa.google.com http://www.flickr.com/ Upload the images that you would like to appear on your blog, then on the "Add Media" dialog, select the tab "From URL" and enter the URL of your images. Be sure to comply with their Terms of Service and have the images link back to their site. This way, you can have photos on your blog in the meantime while I solve that issue. Thanks for your feedback! -Amin Kaje-
