Just had a friend tell me he can’t see the photos in my posts, so I called him and we figured out the problem. There are two things to check, and this solution applies to all blogs out there that might have this problem.

1. Are you at work? If you are, there’s a good chance that your network admins might have blocked photo sharing sites like Flickr. Therefore, all blogs using those sites to host their images will have problems displaying their photos. While the blog might very well come up, the images won’t, and if you don’t know what’s going on, you’ll be wondering if the blog’s owner is in a right state of mind, talking about pictures that aren’t there… But really, everything’s on the up and up, except for your lousy network admins and cheesy IT policies.
2. Are you using Firefox? If so, have you gone to Tools >> Options >> Content >> Load Images and checked the box next to “For originating site only”? If you did this, no images of any kind (GIF, JPG, PNG, etc.) will show up unless hosted directly on the blog. Uncheck that option, and a whole new world will open up to you. Here’s a screenshot of that Options tab in Firefox.

Hope this fixes it for you!
