images/photos on the blog

Good morning from Lawrence where the lilacs are starting to bloom.

Several of you have commented about not being able to see some of the photos that are part of my posts on the blog. I have alerted typepad about this and here is what they said.....

"Typepad's image system is complex and after the image is uploaded, it may be stored additionally in a cache server to enable faster loading for visitors. Sometimes, the image in the cache server gets corrupted and has to be cleared. Then the image will be pulled fresh from the original storage server (where it has been intact all along) and will display again. We can clear out the corrupted images from the cache server if given information sufficient for us to determine their URL. You do not need to upload the images again, because the original image in storage is fine, it is only the copy in the cache server that is messed up."

The bottom line is that I apologize if you can not see all the images associated with the posts.  For me to chase this down and report it each time to the people at Typepad simply is too much of a bother. I hope that it improves or at least doesn't get worse. The thing about blogging, is that I do it for fun, as a way to reach out into the big world and have a chat with YOU, when it becomes more trouble than pleasure I just have to let that go. 

Fingers crossed. 

typepad issues ongoing

This is a quick update to let you all know that I have had some wonderful fall photos to post and stories to tell over the last 6 days. However, Typepad began a "migration" to a new platform on October 29th. We are now entering the 6th day of what was to have been a 12 hour shutdown.  We are assured they are as frustrated as we are by the lack of ability to access our blog, upload photos, etc, and that they are working diligently to resolve it. As soon as service is restored, posts here at Tall Tales from Kansas will resume. 

fingers crossed

Dear faithful readers:

It is with much irritation that I tell you Typepad and I are exchanging texts on the "help" line because my photos are not loading to my blog posts. Such aggravation. As soon as their engineers come up with a fix, I hope to be back in business. In the meantime I am trying very hard not to stomp my feet or throw a hissy fit. Only because it won't help. If it would, I would be putting on the hissy fit of all hissy fits. Truth be told, with my background in theatre, and flair for the dramatic, I think I could put on an Oscar-worthy performance. Gnashing of teeth included.  

To get my mind off it, I am going to eat chicken enchiladas for supper and watch Mrs. Harris goes to Paris.

Fingers crossed for swift resolution.
