Ever since JetPack took over management of WordPress, inserting photos has been a crap shoot. Sometimes the photo I choose gets inserted, sometimes JetPack seems to randomly select a different image,
So, this post is kind of an experiment to see what I get.
Here goes.
Nope, not what I asked for. I was trying for my photo of a Nasty Woman t-shirt that was for sale outside the venue at UCF, in Orlando, where Obama was speaking just days before the 2016 election. Instead I got this photo of the parking lot and sky over the Winter Park Sprouts.Nope. Was going for a shot I took of Mt. Hood shot through the gigantic windows in Timberline Lodge, in Oregon. This image is of the statue in our front yard in Winter Springs.Nope. Not the image I asked for. I was trying to insert a photo of the Jack o’lantern I carvedin 2021, basically using one arm because of my freshly torn rotator cuff and broken shoulder sustained in an auto accident,Ding, ding, ding, and we have a winner. This is the photo I wanted. Sky over a building in Key West, Florida, in June 2005.Fail. I was trying to insert a photo of my late cat, Floyd. This is a meme I got from Facebook.JetPack bombs again. I wanted a photo of Covid signs taped to cooler doors in a Publix near my home in 2020. This is a photo of pine trees at an interstate rest stop in Georgia, in June 1992.Whooohoo. This is what I picked. Sky over Winter Springs, sometime in 2021.Nope. This is a storm I drove in on Aloma Avenue in Winter Park. It might even be of Hurricane Ian, or Nicole, in 2022. I actually forget what I was aiming for, but this ain’t it
This phenomenon has made blogging very frustrating. I’ve sent JetPack messages about it and got no responses I don’t like them much. WordPress responds in under 24 hours.
