After 5 years of being a stay-at-home mom, I found the wonder of mothering slowly starting to get crowded out by the mundane feeling. I realized our world seems to surround people with the negative, and complaining about blessings seems totally acceptable. So I decided to fight against that "normalcy" and focus only on the positive. I look back to my first year as a mom when everything was new and keeping house was fun and I aim to have that attitude again. This blog is my outlet to showcase the daily miracles that surround me in my blessed life as a stay-at-home mom so that I will never forget the wonder of it all.

I have to pay for my blog?

When I try to upload pictures to my blog it tells me I've used up the available storage in Picasa.  I didn't even know they stored them in Picasa.  Apparently I have to pay for a plan to continue to upload pics to my blog.  I FINALLY found how to access my Picasa page I didn't know I had and tried to delete the stored pics but it said if I did this, they'd be removed from my blog. 

Is there a way around this so I don't have to pay a yearly fee to keep up with my blog?

Does this happen when you blog at type pad?

Thanks.  :)

  1. Jenny, I have never heard of this, and I do blogger as well- and I've got a ton of photos on my blog. I'll ask my husband- he's a web developer.

  3. I got this same mesage about a week ago.. but I did have a picassa account and had a bunch of old pictures (not on my blog) that I deleted to give myself more space.
    I know one of my friends pictures on blogger are tied in with her flcker account. Dont know the details, but worth looking into!

  5. Jake, that's so annoying. Did you find that the $5 plan gets you enough storage for a year? I don't understand why some people are charged and some aren't. ? Taryn, I only have blog pics on picasa so I can't clear any out.

  6. I use blogger and upload photos from my hard drive. I don't use Picassa at all, so no issues.

    Just go to upload then browse. The photos then live in the post rather than linked from somewhere else.

  7. I don't know about the Picasa album, but I do know you have limited storage on your blog itself. I think it is 1 GB free and for the 5$ a year you get 5GB or something like that, It took me three years to reach 1 GB so I think the 5$ will get you all the space you need for a long time.
