I've rarely posted graphics to my blog as I've always seemed to struggle to get the graphics displayed for one reason or another. Anyway, this evening I sat down and worked out what was going on.
When I embed a graphic into a blog post I go to the gallery where I have uploaded the image to. In my previous post this was the Photos gallery. I then click on the image I want to include in my blog post. The example in my previous post was 3 Laptops. I then click on the Original Image link. I can then copy and paste the address of the image and place it into the SRC attribute of an IMG tag (I just replace the o_ prefic with t_ which gives a thumbnail image rather than the full blown original).
So far so good. If I am using the web browser Admin feature I can even switch between HTML and Design mode and see the image is displayed correctly. However, as soon as I post the blog entry something goes wrong and the link gets changed. In the previous post example http://blogs.vbcity.com//images/blogs_vbcity_com/shandy/62/t_3%20Laptops.jpg gets changed to //images/blogs_vbcity_com/shandy/62/t_3%20Laptops.jpg. The // at the beginning of this link is incorrect. there should only be a single /. So I have to re-edit the entry again, take out one of the / characters so that the link becomes /images/blogs_vbcity_com/shandy/62/t_3%20Laptops.jpg, re-post the entry and it appears correct.
Is it just me who has this problem or is it a bug in the .TEXT script?
