Photobucket issue

So I have a lot of pictures on this blog, between the step-by-step recipes and pictures of my kids. Awhile ago I ran out of room on blogger (did you know there is a limit on how many pictures they will post on your blog for free through their hosting service?) so I started storing my pictures on photobucket. That worked great until yesterday, when photobucket started experiencing "issues." Their website says they are doing maintenance, so hopefully things are resolved soon and my pictures come back!

Are any other bloggers out there experiencing this problem?

  1. I don't have issues with Photobucket, but I do have a suggestion for you if you can't get Photobucket resolved:

    You might consider switching the blog over to wordpress. Wordpress.org can be used as a CMS and blog system. It is totally free. The best part is that wordpress is not hosting any of your stuff. You install the software onto your server for themenumam.com, so the only limits you have is the size of you hosting account (and many are unlimited these days).

    It's super easy to use and most hosting providers have one-click wordpress install. Since I moved over to wordpress from blogger, I have had WAY fewer blog issues.

  2. Oh no, there's a limit?? I'm afraid I may be reaching it soon.

  3. Half of my wall is the little photobucket "we are experiencing issues" squares. It's making for some very unsightly blogs, I must say. At least the content is still lovely. :D

  4. At least it's not just you. A bunch of your blog buttons have disappeared, too! Actually, a lot of the blogs I visit have cute little "We're Doing Work" images all over them.

    Hopefully for your sanity they get it fixed soon!

  6. Oh no!
    I ran out of pictures on blogspot too, but I just decided to pay $5 for more space. Hope it gets fixed soon!

  9. Thanks everybody! It wasn't pretty. Everything is back to normal now and I will be posting a new recipe soon, McKenna. :-) Rachel, I know a lot of people swear by wordpress but when I visit some wordpress blogs (not yours), I am frustrated by how slowly they load up. It could be that those blogs are bogged down by lots of images, but since I post a lot of pictures I am worried that would happen to me too.
