This entry is not intended to humiliate the author of this template. I really love this template and didn’t want to replace it. The purpose of this entry is to share my experience and learn from it.

Two days ago, when I opened my site, I saw the image below… lots of photobucket errors. It seems that all bloggers who use this template had this kind of error. At first, I thought that my blog had been hacked. How come if I didn’t use my photobucket account in this blog?

The problem was… all the images with the free template were replaced by “bandwidth exceeded - Photobucket - Please upgrade your account.”

What I did to resolved the problem was to download all the image files and save it another file host.

  1. Login to your blogspot account, go to layout, edit HTML
  2. Click Ctrl F. Since the problem is from photobucket, type the word photobucket.
  3. The word photobucket from your edit template page will be highlighted.
  4. Copy the complete url of all links that has the word photobucket one by one.
  5. Download them and save it to your blogspot or any filehost that you prefer.
  6. Then, replaced all the photobucket link in your template, make sure that you’ve replaced the correct photobucket link to the new link to avoid further problems.

Voila! My site is normal again.
