Copy And Paste, Copy And Paste
In case anyone hasn’t heard, Google Pages is being transfered to Google Sites. However, while the transfer is going to occur with the pages themselves, the files that are stored at Google Pages will not be migrating with the site itself. That means that the images will likly stop showing at some point in time. This wouldn’t be so bad if I just had one or two images here and there on display in other pages, but I have a ton of images and files being stored at Google Pages.
I have been in a mad rush for the past week trying to download, move, update pages, update blog templates, and just plain look through two years or more of stuff. Not a fun job.
I wish the pictures would stay at Google Pages, but when you get something for free, the provider can always change the rules I guess. It still is a pain in the rear pages so-to-speak.
I calculate that I am at around 30% completed on this process. I have more clients that need to have their pictures updated too. Most people don’t have a clue as to what is involved with updating and changing the url links for every single picture here or there.
When a picture is grabbed from one location and displayed in another, (also known as hotlinking) it is using the bandwidth from the other location. A little here, a little there, and a little everywhere. Some say this is stealing bandwidth. Maybe yes, maybe no. If you have two websites, and share the pictures betweeen them, then it is pretty hard to steal bandwidth from yourself.
Back to copy and paste of the img src urls. By-the-way, the image html code looks like this in the code: <img src="/img/spacer.gif">
