  Ive uploaded around 10 posts.
  Ive noticed that after a couple of days, my pictures which I upload with my articles, disappear and only the caption remains.
  This has happened twice.
  Can someone please help me ?

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

  When I look at a specific example, like

  I get a 404 Not Found if I try to open it. Have you by any chance deleted these images from your Media Library? If so DO NOT EVER DO THAT; that’s where your images are stored. Delete them and your blog can’t find them.

  Please tell me why you would have done that. Did someone tell you it was a good idea? Lots of people seem to be doing it.

  I can’t believe that people don’t get this. If you delete the images from the media library they are no longer on the wordpress.com servers. If they aren’t on the servers how can they possibly be displayed in your posts and on your pages or in widgets? I too would like to know who is recommending this.
