Photo uploading to Blogger

First of all, I'm and old fart and your Customer Support Community page is really confusing. Put topic search somewhere on top at least...somewhere where it stands out.

OK...now for my reason for doing this "Share an idea" thing, which I hope is the proper way to submit an idea.

Photography is a major part of my life currently. And when I write something for my Blogger accounts, I'll often upload a photo from my computer to be included in the blog post. I prefer to have my photos with the blog itself, not uploaded to another site and linked to from the post. All too often, the link breaks for whatever reason and the photo isn't seen by the person visiting my blog. So having it included with the post is, for me, the way to go.

However, when I wrote my first Blogger post in Flock, I looked for a way to include a photo in the writing. When I dragged a photo to insert in the post, Flock attempted to upload the photo to Photobucket, or Facebook, or something...I don't remember right now. That is not what I wanted to do. I wanted to insert the photo within the body of type and NOT have to upload it to another site, and link it in post.

I may have missed the way to do that, but I believe I looked throughout out the blog editor for a way to do it...and couldn't find it.

So, I then come here to the "Share an idea" section and see in the lower left corner, an "Add an image" action. It appears to allow for local hosted images to be uploaded for this "idea." Is there a way that same function can be added to the Blog editor, thereby giving me and probably a lot of other Flock users the ability to manage their blogs better before publishing?

Thanks.
