The issue seems to have resolved itself. The images are now visible.

But it looks pixelated, or is it just me?

thesacredpath: Thanks for the suggestion and the optimized image. :)
Maybe you're right, the problem could be with my images. Although I don't use large image files for anything else, i mean for the post images and all.

Problem is the images keep coming and going as they please. :(

I checked several posts and other than having to wait forever for your images to download, all of them came up.

I forgot the link to the optimization support document.

It is HUGE at 1.7MB. It is also 300dpi. The web only does 72dpi, so all you are doing is uploading huge images that will not be viewed at that dpi.

Background images should never be more that 200k in file size, and 150k is even better. With a site as image heavy as yours, it could very well be that the servers are timing out and that is why you are not getting the image loads.

Your main page took over 1.5 minutes to load on my wireless internet connection and consumed a huge amount of bandwidth.

You need to read up on optimizing your images for the web and start with your background image. It needs to be at 72dpi and optimized so that the file size is down at a maximum of 200k. I did a quick optimization on your background image and you can download it from this link. It is 217k which should help out considerably. Upload and use this image as your background.

The entire Republic of Ireland for instance, couldn't see or upload images for a few days earlier this year.

I talked to them and they said the issue is not at their end. The pictures came back for a day, and now they are gone again. :(

If you have tried in two browsers and are having the experience in both, then it could be an issue at your ISP. It could be that their invisible proxy servers, used to speed up page loading and such, are having issues, or for some reason aren't downloading the images.

Try rebooting your internet modem and if that does not help, contact your internet service provider.

This has never happened before with my blog, everything was as it should be a day back.

I do not see any small blue boxes with question marks in them. I assume you may have a browser issue as you cannot see them.

I'm a little flabbergasted here. My blog images have been working fine until now, all of a sudden I can not see a single image. Well except for the ones that are coming from outer sources. It just displays a small blue box with a question mark in it instead of images. No header, no background, no post images, nothing.

Can anyone please tell me what might be wrong with it?

Here's the link to my blog:
