russ: The First Major Pictures in Blogs Bug (7/6/04)

This blog is my test of a new feature. Now, when you upload a blog, you will have the ability to upload pictures right into it!
To do this, the form has 4 file upload fields, just like the fields used in picture uploads. But each field also has a couple of buttons which place IMG tags directly into the blog text.
Here's an example. In this blog, I uploaded a copy of the VillagersOnline image, and then I hit the two buttons to add two different IMG tags:

Some of you will notice that Eric's response had a problem with the pictures. I have a bug where, in a response, the IMG tags don't have the right HTML code. So the pictures have been uploaded, but they won't show up.
I'm working on a fix for this, but for now you can fix it yourself if you're HTML savy. Edit your blog, and change the IMG src parameter. The right directory for the pictures is not "pictures/" but "resp//resp/pictures/" For responses to responses, add more "resp//respFor a look at the right directory tree to a given response, you can look at the Responses table at the head of the page. If the link was "#stevek_respMbDjbg_Patricia_resp4bAciv", then the correct pictures directory is "resp/stevek/respMbDjbg/resp/Patricia/resp4bAciv/pictures".
Hopefully, I'll have this all automated soon...
