Hi Lisa,
Sorry for not responding sooner … I’m not sure I understand completely … are you looking for a tool that would let folks upload a photo and then display it on your blog automatically, without you seeing it first? On a page, or in the sidebar?
I’m wondering if the Linky tools that are used for Wordless Wednesdays and Blog Hops might serve your needs?
The main source for widgets that are almost always compatible with TypePad is Widgetbox.com.
Let us know if you find a solution, or if you want to explore further here, okay?
Tom
