Beginning to go off-topic

Although I'm fairly certain I'll never run out of things to say about roadwork, the fact that I'm having so much trouble getting Hello! to send pictures to this blog has prompted me to go off-topic for a moment.

Why doesn't Google's new blog photo insertion solution, "Hello!," work as promised? "Hello?" I try to publish pictures to my blog, but it's no dice! Some sites say that Blogger provides free photo hosting, other say it doesn't. Does anyone know how to make this work?
