  Hi there – I see that the image in your image widget in your sidebar returns a 404. Did you previously have an image uploaded to your Media Library that you’ve since deleted? If you delete images from your Media Library, anywhere they appear on your site will eventually become a broken image.

  To fix this, please re-upload the image you’d like to use for the widget, and then edit the widget and paste in the new image’s URL.

  I don’t immediately see any other broken images on your site. If you’re having problems with them elsewhere, can you please link me directly to the posts or pages where they aren’t showing up?

  Hi there – on most of these, the links 404. For example:
  http://ncasi.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/lotus-found.jpg

  That means the image file is no longer there. There isn’t any image called ‘lotus found’ in your Media Library now. Did you delete them from your Media Library? The only way to replace them is to reupload the images to your Media Library and insert them in the posts again.

  For the one on http://ncasi.wordpress.com/in-the-news/ , that image is uploaded via URL, which means it links to somewhere else on the web. It looks like the image has been taken down at its source:
  http://magazine.naropa.edu/s/1382/mag/index.aspx?sid=1382&gid=1&pgid=512&cid=1666&ecid=1666&crid=0&calpgid=467&calcid=1660

  To avoid this in future, you might download the image itself and then upload it to your own blog before inserting it in your post.

  Does that all make sense?
