Thanks to all of you who notified me that the photo in my Throwback Thursday post was not loading.

It took a while for me to solve that issue.

When I was first notified of the problem, I saw that my link to the picture was being modified, and it was the modified link that was not loading.

I had visions of being hacked, and having all visitors getting infected by some unknown bit of malware.

But the folks at the outside security service I use to defend my site, Sucuri.com, explained the problem.

They pointed to Jetpack, a WordPress utility that provides several services, including one that is supposed to speed up loading of pictures. It was that part of Jetpack that wasn’t working and led to the error messages users were getting.

Their advice was simple. Disable that part of Jetpack. As soon as I disabled it, the problem disappeared. They provided a link to a partial explanation.

So that’s the bad news and good news. The problem caused lots of aggravation on Thursday, both to those of you trying to look at the photo and to me trying to figure it out. But it wasn’t an infection that will affect you.

Anyway, please go back and check out the photo! You’ll enjoy it.
