  Photos I post disappear or do not show after a while. They appear fine at first but when I check a few days later there is an empty box where photo was. In the present 3 cases on 3 different posts there are pictures that I have taken myself.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I just took a look at your site, and it looks like you might be embedding your photos from your email, which isn’t a good way to go about posting your photos.

  As an example, in this post:

  http://whineandcheersforwine.com/2014/07/01/organic-wine-heller-estate-organic-vineyards-chenin-blanc/

  On the missing image, if you right click and select “view image,” it takes you to a mail.google.com page:

  https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=cf01873ccd&view=fimg&th=146f2646d13f3953&attid=0.1&disp=inline&safe=1&attbid=ANGjdJ-otNwlb8XviYEBy2ENkpOHkFQ7QqNG2Iw1ZhAU79SbYjOQ6jn4BYeu3qE7CXWKkROs44kBNMtAiVAR5sMjCb5uLu2TMWWDV5WcT-hzKZfxiYCjdYNLZ46cZGY&ats=1404226008392&rm=146f2646d13f3953&zw&sz=w936-h379

  While Google has opened their mail up in some ways so that for a short time images are available externally, it clearly does not work as a way to post them. Instead, you should download the images and then re-upload them to your site.

  Let me know if you have any questions!
