Question Can I Edit Some of My Older Posts?

builttospill · 02-25-2023, 04:38 PM

I used to have a site on Google Sites to host images to share here, but when Google broke/updated Sites they no longer allow hot linking. Would it be possible for me to go edit some of my older posts with broken links so I can update the URL to the image on another host location?

The easiest way might be for you to post the new images in a reply in each thread. Then, let me know here when you're done and I will go in and merge the posts for you.

Thanks for being willing to do this, Adam, even though it might be quite inconvenient for you. I can do as you suggest, but there are a lot of photos (over 200) missing. Is there an easier way?

Is it possible to derive the new links from the old ones? If so, I could do a find-and-replace on all your posts in one go.

Or, if you have a list of the old links and corresponding new ones, could do the same.

I'm having to upload to a new host, so find and replace won't work, but I think a list would be a great idea. Give me some time to upload the files and I'll send you a list of the old and new links. Thanks!
