When I created this blog, I wanted it to include my earlier Virus Info email messages. So I simply copied and pasted each email into a blog post. They all looked good.
Then a reader informed me he was seeing image.png instead of images in one of the blogs.
I found that Firefox in Windows and Safari on my iPad had this problem. I had never seen any of these broken images because I always use Chrome.
For my blog I use the platform WordPress. I compose the blog message in a word processing type window. WordPress converts it to HTML so that it will display on a website. Clearly it was not generating the correct HTML for all browsers.
WordPress is big, really big.
“WordPress is the most popular web management system in the world and is used by nearly 75 million websites. According to WordPress, more than 409 million people view more than 23.6 billion pages each month and users produce 69.5 million new posts and 46.8 million new comments every month.”
So how could my simple copy and paste fail so badly?
Software bugs.
Trying to contact WordPress for help to correct this would have been a long, arduous process. So I did some experimentation and found a way to “fix” this myself. In each blog, I saved the images separately to my computer, deleted them from the blog message and then copied in the saved images.
