image not available

I just looked at my blog for the 1st time in a while and find the jpg images say 'image not available'. My blog location was changed last week or maybe week before last; perhaps they weren't moved over? Old name pointingfrx to new name frxbuzz. What's up?

Since you recently changed your blog address from a *.blogharbor.com address to your own domain name, if your images point to the former address instead of the latter, you may need to change that.

Also, I am not sure if this is what you are referring to but it looks like you are referencing some images from your previous hosting provider, and those images are no longer available so you that provider is displaying an "Image not available" error.

I imported my blog from typepad. After importing, were those images still pointing over there? They didn't actually come over, only the link?

How to correct? Reupload?

The export file from Typepad contained links back to your Typepad images. In order to fix this you would first need to upload the images to your blog and note the URLs where you uploaded them to, then change the articles themselves to point to those new image locations. Unfortunately we don't have any way to automate any of these processes.

FPics - Your response here is not at all related to the question asked. Sad
