The Latest Victims of Blogger-Picasa-Google Plus

It's us. We are the latest victims of Blogger-Picasa-Google Plus which means all of our pictures on our blog are gone! So if you're here for the first time or you're returning to see some of your favorite images, we're so sorry!

It turns out this is a pretty widespread issue. Clients of Blogger.com, like us, were pretty upset to find out that their pictures are not recoverable.

So this is what happened... Blogger.com is a part of Google..which means it's also a part of Google Plus. When you post images on your blog, Blogger holds them on a site called Picasa. When you get a Google Plus Invite, and go and create your page, eventually you will see a folder of your images show up in your photo gallery. For us, it was a file of over 400 images. So we knew we didn't put them there, and we had no desire to keep them on our new Google Plus page. So we deleted it. Two days later we went to our blog and saw that all of our images were missing. We still had no idea why, and assumed it was a Blogger.com issue or glitch that would remedy itself. Unfortunately, no.

So, that file that magically appeared in our Google Plus picture folder was actually the Picasa file of all our images that Blogger placed there when we uploaded them to our blog. Blogger had no additional copies of our images. So deleting the Google Plus folder, that we didn't place there or want there, permanently deleted them from our blog as well. Confused yet? Us too!

We have all of the images on our hard drive, and of course backed up in two other locations as well. But the process of going through years of images, remembering each image that was used for each blog post, resizing them all again, and re-uploading would be extremely time consuming. So we've decided to lay this blog to rest. This will be our last post on this blog and we will be creating a brand new & improved blog very soon!
