Seeing Blanks on Reflections, Me Too, Mobile Issues

Since sometime around October 1, 2019 I discovered that images on Reflections were not viewable on Mobile devices.  After some whining, crying, hair pulling, etc., it became evident that something went amiss with Google, Google Photos, and Blogger. 

Without spending a hunk of cash to hire some help, which I was not thrilled about, cause face it, this is a hobby not a money making endeavor, I never did discover the exact cause.

I did discover tho, a few reasonably easy fixes and starting with the most recent post, I slowly worked myself backwards, post by post, replacing the photos.  The photos are the same, the text is the same (unless I found a silly error, and I did find a few of those of course).  I just replaced which changed the underlying code.  I don't do HTML, just for the record, so I don't really know what I did, other than grab the images from a different storage area.  

I have not traced how far back this issue may go, and I will continue to fix, now and then, here and there, as time and my angst allow.  Those that know and love me, are well aware of how much I HATE do-overs.  I have other things I want to spend my time on and do-overs keep me from the new stuff.

I am very disappointed in Blogger and Google and Google Photos for this issue.  I suspect it is something they are changing in background programming. 

But, it is what it is, and hopefully you all can see the Alaska tour posts on Mobile now.

If you find a post that seems to have missing images, drop me a line.  I'll attempt to fix it as soon as possible.
