This, absolutely missing. That was one of the attractive things about tumblr (remember when there were attractive things about tumblr?), that oh-so-easy image posting. And Pf was smart to hold onto that as a must-have. I've been meeting online for over 20 years now with a group of friends, and although we have a custom text-based website we built for this and years of expressive conventions, we've somehow mostly migrated to slack because of that ease of posting images and links that auto-snippet.

Yesterday I did upload a couple photos here to post, and while it wasn't much more complicated than posting to my wordpress blog, there were all of those steps which are not just straight-forward html but involve DW code. Plus, just now, opening my html editor because I didn't want to mess up the link to my post with a typo and break the page, simply to make this reply.

I think that not only are those of us who can do the html nonetheless happy with the convenience of not, it definitely opens up use by those who can't and don't care to take that time and fiddly effort. And that ultimately makes the conversations richer, I feel.
