In the last couple days I would write posts, attach my pictures and they would not show up. If I edit the post they would be there, but when I save the post they disappear. I walked away from the IT industry over 10 years ago and not particularly interested in troubleshooting this issue. But troubleshoot I must in order to maintain my own blog. I have been using Facebook as my depository for a lot of the pictures I put on Steemit. It has been working very well up till yesterday. I would upload the pictures onto Facebook so that only I can see them. Copy the image location and boom! Done.
That broke yesterday and I suspect Facebook is onto it. When I used another image storage site on line, it ended up working fine. So if you are having troubles with your images, consider that Facebook may be blocking you from making the link.
