Hey everyone. Hope you’re having a great day!
I am having a really AWFUL day for several reasons.
The most upsetting one is the fact that we found out through a kind Flickr stranger that people were stealing my photos and using them as their own identity, and as their own photography work. As a result, we have made ALL of our photos on Flickr private, which changes the unique URL to each image, which in turn causes my blog to completely MESS UP because the links to the photos have been broken.
What this means for me is that my blog is going to look really bad for a while as I slowly but surely rebuild it. Some blog posts still contain photos, but most have to be totally repopulated with images. It’s going to take a long time, and it’s not something I can sit down and work on for a week straight, so it will have to be gradual.
I’m pretty sad about the amazing thoughtlessness that allows some people to steal images, and the resulting MAJOR inconvenience it will be for me, but my blog is really important to me so I insist on rebuilding it. Then I’ll probably use blurb.com to print out hardcopy books – maybe one per year that I’ve blogged or something like that. Then at least I’d have a tangible memory of all my work online.
Anyway, thanks for your patience. I’m going to begin repopulating my most recent posts and work my way back. Fun times. Ugh.
Hope you all have a great week!
Heather
