Photos not appearing on my space although they show properly in Live Writer RRS feed

  • Question

  • I wrote about 10 or so new posts a few months ago and I thought at the time that the photos uploaded properly.  I just went today to look at my space and noticed all the images were missing; just placeholder text of the file name was showing.  What happened.

    I then saw that there was a new build of Live Writer (I was on build 12) so I upgraded to this latest Live Write today and all my images appear correctly in Live Write application but just not on my space site.  I even tried reposting some of the posts to see if that would remedy the situation but to no avail.

    What do I need to do to get my images to appear on my space?

  • So sorry. We do need that folder to be around. :( In the future it'll be harder to delete that folder without being warned about the consequences.

  • Looks like you are publishing to a Spaces account. Is yours a private space, i.e., with restricted viewing permissions?

  • No, I have my permissions set to EVERYONE.  I think this issue was a month ago, I deleted the "Blog Images" album that was automatically created when I posted my first entry with a photo.  I didn't think it was needed since the images were in my blog text.  Seems it is needed.

    Today, I edited each of my entries, deleted and readded the photo, and the Blog Images album was recreated and all my photos are now appearing in my blog entries.

    Any idea why this album has to be created and kept?

  • Yes I think that this is a good idea! To warn people as when I first began using Windows Live Writer and Live Spaces, I too made this mistake and then lost all of my photos inside my blog. It is time consuming as well having to re-instate them!
