Missing Pictures Held Hostage

As anyone can see my blog is currently down. I started hosting my images for blogging on Photobucket so many years ago that I continued to do that as a creature of habit for this blog even once I had my own site I could host them from. Unfortunately, now Photobucket has chosen to take all of the images people host there hostage. I am unwilling to pay their $399 a year ransom for them to magically reappear and allow me to use them for hosting. Sadly, this does leave the large burden of rewriting every post to direct to a different location for the images. Please give me ample time and patience to deal with this and in the meantime click the Galleries link up top to see my work!
