this doesn't work forever btw, i don't know if that doesn't matter to you - if so, disregard! :D I autopost my instagram shots to tumblr and used to grab the url from tumblr to display on my journal here cuz instagram is such a bitch to embed :P but now the older ones are all just broken image links. like eveerything tumblr, not permanent. SIGH.

How old are the older links that died? I've definitely heard about this, I've just never had it affect me. But maybe my older links aren't old enough. But again, quantity of output is probably a factor, reuploading to tumblr would be a pretty quick process in my case! Should draw more.

EDIT: Okay update, it looks like one link has died since I checked it last month. It's actually a newer post than a bunch that are fine, which I wouldn't have expected. Lol tumblr.

Further update, I just changed the url to embed from deviantArt, and I'm sure there are good reasons not to do that either but atm it seems to be workng fine?

Yeah, there's an element of randomness that is really weird?? Lol tumblr, like you say ;D

My missings start last august but I haven't really posted much in a long time so I'm probably not the best to go by.
