What did you do? I don't use blogger myself as I'm damned if I'm going 
to give Google (thieving bastards) the time of day. Besides I have two 
sites on which I've installed wordpress mu and drupal. But anyway I've 
just created a blogger account and had no creating a post with images. 
Blogger Blogs that I follow seem to be uploading images too.

Did someone file a DMCA report against your blog?
