 * It didn’t break my site. It looks great. I was able to do a test upload. The 
   pending post showed up in my post list right away. I was so excited; I kept thinking,“
   It works! It works!”
 * And then I hit the Preview button. No image.
    I clicked Edit. No image.
 * This plugin works fantastic…unless you need the image upload feature.
 * Hope there’s an update soon.
 * Thanks!
    Katy

 * It might be an image size error.
 * I’m currently struggling with adding image size checking functionality. Currently,
   if an image is smaller than the min or larger than the max, it deletes the image
   and keeps going.

 * What is the min size?

 * Hi KatyP,
 * The image uploads do work, but it’s key to set the proper image settings in the
   plugin’s settings page. Keep in mind that the images are uploaded and attached
   to the post via custom field; they are not included in the post by default. To
   do that, there are a number of template tags and shortcodes available to dial
   it in for your specific design goals. Please have a look at the readme.txt file
   of the latest version for complete infos.

 * Try this:
    1. From Dashboard, Click on “ALL POSTS”. 2. In this posts page, you
   should see “Pending” at the top next to “Scheduled”. Click “PENDING”. 3. Click“
   EDIT” on the post to edit. 4. Click on “UPLOAD/INSERT” link above the large text
   area. 5. Click on “GALLEY”.
 * Expected results:
    The uploaded image(s) should show up here.
 * Let me know if this hasn’t worked for you.

 * I’ve read the read.txt but did not think you could say to make this process easier?
   How can the image be loaded along with the post? Is this possible? Thank you!
