I accidentally deleted lots of blog photos!

Just a quick post to apologise for the lack of many photos now in the early posts made on my blog. I inadvertently deleted them from the Picasa web album, not realising that they would be deleted from the blog also. I regard myself as functionally tech savvie but not top level tech savvie and this is a rookie error of cosmin proportions! I have no way of putting them back, I think I lost about 100, there is now a black space  with a question mark on it! Oh dear! I now need to purchase space from Picasa on a monthly basis in order to continue adding photographs, the lowest additional package gives me an extra 25GB of storage space which should keep me going for a few years!! I suppose it is a measure of how long I have been blogging now. I was hoping to get a more interesting post than this written whilst children were either sleeping or otherwise occupied but am sorting out Picasa instead...... *sigh*.........

  1. Hi, I also have got the message often from Blogger that I need to purchase storage space. I find that if you leave it a day or so and try again you can update more photos with no problem! I was really worrying when I first saw the message but I am used to it now, just ignore it and try again later. I hope that works for you too before they get their hands on your money!

    1. That's interesting Caroline, thanks for sharing, I've deleted some now so have some more space so will wait and see. It never occurred to me that they weren't just stored on the blog!
