Whenever I try I get the message
Do you want to save this file, or find a program online to open it?
Name: upload-image-ajax.do
Type: unknown file type
From: draft.blogger.com
FIND SAVE CANCEL
What's that all about? I've never had these messages before. I've tried the FIND and the SAVE but I still can't upload any photos!
Please someone HELP!
PS I have just discovered this problem only exists if I use the New Post in Blogger Dashboard. If I use the old style New Post I can upload photos! WTF????

Switch to WordPress my friend LOL. No serious I wish I could help you but I don't use Blogger. Isn't that aggravating. I hope someone can help you. Maybe clear your cache is the only thing I can think of. Happy Cinco De Mayo and Happy Boy's Day :)
I havent had this happen but I did encounter issues with resizing pix I didnt keep on Picassa ... if I try to upload from my desktop I cant resize or even reposition but if I store the photo in Picassa online I can c/p the 'photo location' ... I wish I could help more
Change to Wordpress, clear my cache? Thom my dear, you're talking to someone who hasn't got a clue here! Thanks for trying to help though, I do appreciate it. x
You're confusing me too Daryl I'm sorry to say - I'm such a dope. :( I've emailed you honey.
No!you are not a dope!sometimes blogger and this infernal machine called a computer has me baffled as well.I hopr that you have a great day.
Blogger seems to be going through one or two glitches at the moment. Don't change a thing just yet.
First - where you store your photos - check when you hover the mouse over them that they are a jpeg (.jpg). If not,(a bitmap or .bmp for example [I think] takes far longer to upload because is more detailed) then you can save it as a .jpg - just right click and choose "save as" then scroll down to jpeg or jpg and save it. Rename it so you know which one is the .jpg.
Try uploading the .jpg. Also, there are blogger help pages but I find them just as frustrating.
If this doesn't work, leave it until tomorrow - it could be a blogger glitch that rights itself. It has a few of those I discovered.
Finally, if there are still problems tomorrow, by all means try blogger help but also go to Terry's Playpen and comment there (or email him). He is brilliant at helping out.
Hope this is some use. Some one with much more blogger or picture uploading experience than me might be able to help more...
Some one else mentioned they were having problems too. It will clear up in a little while as always.
don't switch to wordpress! i have my other blog on it and it is much harder especially photos. it'll be cleared up soon, it always is.

wordpress for me, too!
Here after a long time through Firefox and it now works!!
Hello, my friend!!
belleek
Haven't had any trouble with photos and blogger but I'm still using the old template and not the new system.
Oh my...let us know if you find out what the problem is and how you fixed it.
Good luck sweetie.
Ciao.
My only advice would be to switch back to the old style. I've have too many issues with draft.blogger.com. I tried it once or twice, but found it aggravating. I think it depends on the server you're on.
And I agree with Empress Bee...don't switch to Wordpress. I have one of my blogs there too and I'm telling you...they have issues and glitched too - BIG TIME!
It's probably Blogger doing some sort of behind-the-scenes upgrades - how I hate those!!! It should clear up by tomorrow.
I haven't had that problem, although Blogger can be mysterious at times. Still, I like it.
Hope it clears up tomorrow ;-(
Aloha!
LOL...are you using Internet Explorer or Firefox? If Firefox go to tools and clear private data. In IE clear out your temporary internet files under system tools. It's pretty easy. Email me I"ll help ya with it :)
I've noticed blogs with music, a lot of side advertising stuff, and a lot of photos takes a longer time for me to access... I have quite a few blockers for spam and other saftey measures, and my computer is no youngster either..
Thank you all so much for your words of wisdom and sympathy :)
I've gone back to the old blogger to upload images and photos then do my scheduling in dashboard.
Thanks for the link to Terry's Playpen Thumbelina - I've posted this question on his blog - hopefully he will be able to help me.
You're all stars. xx
i don't have an issue either way. but now i'm knocking on wood cos the minute i say that i'm sure to start. that's the way my life goes :-/
In order to get rid of this problem and find a suitable way to discover the appropriate program for an unknown file type, you can check out the OpenWith.org Desktop Tool.

I've never seen that error so I don't know how to help. Looks like you got some suggestions though. Good luck getting rid of the problem.
Blogger nearly had me quitting in Feb, I was so frustrated! But like you, I have no clue and break out into hives considering moving to wordpress (it looks so complicated!).
I haven't had this exact issue, but I did have to open another browser one night to upload photos.
