When I first started blogging, I used Photobucket to host a lot of my images. Thinking about it now, I'm not sure
why. I've used Blogger for ages, and I can just use Google for all the images I need for my blog. They even make it super easy to add photos from my phone - which happen to be pretty much the only pictures I seem to take these days. (see example 'eclipse' photo on the right)
And now, after
all this time, Photobucket has decided to change things (read: they want money) so that I can no longer use my Photobucket images on my blog - not only all images going forward, which would be OK since I haven't actually used them to host any blog images in ages (did I mention how
easy it is to use Google?) - but
every single image that I have ever used. So, everywhere that I have an image I hosted on Photobucket (and included in my post with code provided
by Photobucket), I now have this super ugly graphic telling me that I need to upgrade my account. Oh Yay.
So now I have to go back through every post looking for those ugly graphics, figure out what image was supposed to be there, and then get them downloaded from there and re-uploaded (to Blogger and Google), and then fix the code so that the images display properly. Because, of course, I have nothing else to do with my life...
Thanks,
Photobucket. I love you too. (jerks)
And, yes, if I wasn't such a perfectionist, I'd just let it go. They're all old posts anyway. Except for those things in the sidebar - what
were those, anyway? And the background on my recipe blog.
That is the final straw! (or was - got that one fixed at least)
