stupid images

Posted on July 25, 2005

While we were in Charleston last weekend, klk pointed out that the images on my blog were broken. I’d never noticed this since they work if you visit the main link of the blog, but if you use a permalink or are reading in a feed, you just see broken image icons.

This, incidentally, turned out to be a huge pain to fix, and in the end I just went with a workaround. The Textile filter that Typo uses (RedCloth) doesn’t escape tilde’s, so I couldn’t make absolute URL links to the images. My workaround was to convert the article that used Textile to no formatting and adding all the HTML markup myself.

What a pain. I’ll go file a bug now.

So for those of you that couldn’t see the pictures the first time around, go check out Old, Forgotten, and Soon to be Wasted: A Grand Photo Tour of our Leftover Meals, and see it as it was meant to be seen.
