Hey All!
This is not a major issue which I have with PMC, and I fully respect that hard work which the staff members do, however I have come across an issue which is very annoying and if resolved, can save me and a lot of other PMC users a lot of time.
Recently, I've tried posting a blog about the Amplified Minecraft World, however I found out that when tried to upload some images, I couldn't upload more than one image! Being annoyed with this I searched help from an Admin and was helped out by Palaeos. However, he told me that I had to upload the images via. the description (the part of the article that you're reading now). To do this, you need to upload your image to an external website such as imgur.com and then add the link from the website containing your image, into the description!
Seem a lot of work? It is! I'm sure that PMC had a slideshow option, or am I wrong?
Thanks for Reading!

This is getting a little out of hand! I know that I can use Imgur, however, what I'm trying to say is that I'm not happy that I have to go through the effort in going into and external website, such as imgur, and then having to copy and paste EVERY SINGLE IMAGE, which I wish to upload to my blog. It is time consuming and it's getting annoying!
Blogs are for reviews etc. and my personal view is that the blogs, would look more professional, and tidy if PMC enabled photo slideshows on them. Ok i do know that you can use Imgur to upload multiple images, however if you wish to upload ten images for example, it an make the blog look too long, and uninviting to read. This is my personal view.
Thanks for having some time looking at my blog, and I really didn't think it would get this big! I, personally, really don't like how Projects and Texture Packs have a slide show reel at the top of each post the a user uploads, and the blogs have to deal with the one image.
I know that you can upload images via. Imgur, however I feel that it would be much easier, if users could upload more than one image to blog via. PMC. Here are some reasons why think this.
1. Blogs won't look increasingly long and appear to be dull.
2. When a user clicks on another user's blog and sees the Internet scroll bar get very tiny and see how long the article is, they will automatically be thrown off from reading it.
3. Blogs will look tidier and more professional. As there is a text section and a image section.
4. An example of when a slideshow in the blog section would be useful is when a user is doing a review, of a texture pack, server, mod etc. an they may want to include close up or a singular image of a certain part of the texture pack, mod or server which is key in their article/review.
I have many more reasons, however I feel that PMC should do a poll! Asking if players wish their to be a slideshow in the blog section. And I personally feel that a majority of users would say yes.

As you said yourself: "This is not a major issue which I have with PMC"
So i'd recommend naming your Blog something a little bit more decent, how about
"Slideshow option in the Blog section - A suggestion"
But yeah i guess they could change it, but as i said most people probably don't mind and as some people already mentioned in the comment the upload via imgur probably goes faster than uploading it directly into PMC.
I know what you mean that the title can be misleading, and I have changed it to "Why I'm Not Happy With PMC!" as this is my personal view. I do understand people use imgur to upload photos etc. to the website, but if PMC enabled a slideshow on the blogs, it would look tidier as well as more professional looking and more inviting for people to read the content which you have to share.
2. Hit "Computer" under the "Upload images"
3. Put in the images.
4. Upload, take the URL links and put them on the page.
5. Done.
