Blogger Image Error and Backing Up you Data

Hi All,

Some of you might have noticed that some of the images you have posted are not showing, a large minus sign is appearing instead.

The technical team at Blogger are aware of the problem and are working towards a solution.

EDIT: Casandra from Daniel Falzon's tutorial group beat them to it:





When you are uploading images to your blog make sure you do so from your local computer, rather than copying a URL from cloud storage (that way, if you shift or delete the image from your local drive or cloud storage it won't disappear from your blog).

Also, you should always make multiple backups of the work you are doing. We use multiple external hard drives and cloud storage (Dropbox, UNSW OneDrive, iCloud, Google Docs, etc) as well as saving things on the local machine. This way, if any one device or network was to fail we can easily retrieve the data from another location.

Backing up physical drawings and models with scans and photos is also really important. Take multiple shots of models and make sure your photos of images would allow them to be reproduced well (blurry or shadowed photos are no good if the dog eats the originals). 

Regards

Russell and Kate
