WARNING TECH TALK AHEAD<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here are the potential solutions to the embedding problem that I discussed in the last post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Option 1 is to find a WordPress plug-in that manages the connection between OneDrive and the blog. On paper, this is actually the best solution; however, I have tried it in the past with frankly terrible results. The problem is that when the plug-in ceases to function, all the work that was created with plug in becomes unusable and must be redone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Option 2 is to store the photos someplace else where the embed function is working. I really considered this but actually many of the competitors to OneDrive handle all this much less easily. Others do well but are not as secure, in my estimation as OneDrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Option 3 is to abandon embedding. WordPress has media capabilities but there are problems with using them. The problems can be overcome and I will be moving to this solution. The biggest advantage of this approach is that it can be easily abandoned should things improve and Microsoft solves the embed problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To display photos without embedding, the photos must be part of the blog system. Instead of a link to photo, the actual photo will load when the blog post loads. This could have a major impact on throughput so any photos you see on the blog from this message forward will be substantially degraded to keep the blog performing properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
