Has My Blog Reached the End of the Road?

I have been writing this blog since October of 2013.  Over those years I have written over 4500 posts, and the last several years I have been averaging more than one post per day.  Yesterday I was preparing a blog entry to publish this morning.  I was writing about the Dolores Olmedo Museum, and I had many photos of items from the museum's collection to include.  Suddenly, about half way through the entry, I was unable to insert any more photos.  I tried and tried but I couldn't upload photos from my laptop's photo files.  Thinking it might be some glitch, I tried signing out of Google, and then signing back in.  I turned off the laptop and then turned it on again.  This morning I tried to upload again, but with no luck. 

I looked at my storage on Google, and I have only used only14% of the space.  However when I clicked on Photos, the pictures that were there were mostly, but not entirely, photos that I took with my cell phone.  (I do not like taking pictures with my phone, but if I do not have my camera with me, or if a museum does not permit photos with a camera, I occasionally use it.)  Also, some of those pictures that I took with the phone are not even photos that I uploaded onto the blog. 

Somehow, I don't even remember how, I found that the bulk of the pictures that I have published on the blog, are in Google's media manager albums.  There are more 25,000 photos.  Before I upload pictures to my blog, I always reduce them in size.  I read somewhere else that if your photos are less than 2048 pixels in width or length, that they do not count against your storage allotment. I looked at the size of my photos in the albums.  The vast majority of the pictures are less than that size.  I am going to see if I delete some of the ones that are over that size, if I will be able to insert photos once again.

Fingers crossed. Hopefully I will be able to fix this, and I will be able to continue posting as I have for the last thirteen years.
