Hi there!
Many of my customers have their custom blog graphics (banner, background, post signature, footers, sidebar buttons) stored on Google Sites.
A few customers are now reporting that their images are NOT showing up all of a sudden. I believe this is a temporary issue with Google Sites (a free service by Google who also owns Blogger).
I am positng questions on their forums and will update my blog here with any resolutions or updates found.
- It is not a sharing issue/permissions issue as my customers have their settings set to Public (anyone in the world can see them).
- And I have confirmed that the URLs are correct as if I use them, the Google Sites image appears fine (and that again confirms the permissions are set correctly).
- I've tried to resinsert the images and they do appear fine for a moment; but once I refresh the browser they again disappear.
For now, I would not change anything and leave it as it will become a known issue for Blogger/Google Sites.
HERE are THREADS I've created to try and
help and if you wish to follow them as well 😀

Try and Wait This Out
Worse case I can assist my customers in moving their images from Google Sites to another free service like Flickr or Photobucket, but then involves re-doing all of the images and URL references to the images stored on Google Sites. I coulnd't possibly do them all so I would probably have to write a PDF/tutorial 😀
So again, I would not do anything at this time and wait to see if the issue resolves itself. Google normally fixes problems like this within a few days.
I will keep you posted!

Hi Heather,
I appreciate your update…i was starting to think I’d done something because it’s all across my google sites not just one( I have a few).
Thanks for easing my mind!
