Note: could be pilot error, the pilot doesn't know what he is doing.

3 - create a simple post "test" OK
4 - try to create a post with an image
post creates ok, with a place holder for the image, but I see no
image.
And this is where it might be pilot error, looking in the access log
I see no attempt to upload an image
(it's 155kb) All I see are a few

how does image upload work?
5 - additionally, if you try to republish something.

maybe that is also "pilot is an idiot and shouldn't even be allowed to
fly a toy train set."
