If you've followed along here at all, you'll notice my irritated rant regarding posting photographs and other images on Blogger as of late. It's just broken.
I think I may have found a workaround that's somewhat useable, but only if you already store your photos on Flickr or were planning to upload some there already. Using Windows Live Writer (very nice tool, by the way) and a plugin called flickr4writer. This doesn't dovetail quite as neatly as Picasa's blogthis function, but it does allow the use of Live Writer with images in a more convenient format than using an entirely separate image hosting service. The optimal solution, of course, would be for Blogger to open an image upload API so everyone could use whatever application they prefer for their photos and drawings. Will they ever get the point? Everyone would much rather spend their time taking the pictures rather than uploading them one at a time.
The moth below was posted using this method as a test. It's a slightly more interesting test than posting an animated GIF that scrolls TEST.
