Dean NWC Picture is old

I just noticed the picture of my post about Dean a few days ago. Usually, after I make a post and I am happy that it reads OK, I do not check back. Firefox is nice enough to highlight spelling mistakes so I do not worry too much.

I thought I was doing the right thing to link to the NWC site image rather than copy the picture. But, I didn't realize that the link to the picture remains the same for each advisory. I guess that approach helps their server by not maintaining all of the pictures for each advisory. I figured that the cryptic path and name of the image was computer generated for each advisory, but I guess that the link is created once per storm and makes the site easy to maintain; just pull the latest advisory from a database.

Some late night wonderment - maybe now I do a bad thing and copy the picture from NWC in the future...

Just a fellow S'ville SCian saying hello. My hubby, my kids and myself are a military fam - have lived on west coast & east coast. Right now, we are back where we started! Have a 16 yr old and a 10 yr old (today - Happy B-Day, honey!!) I enjoyed your blogs! Keep up the good work and God bless you and yours!

Ought oh. I didn't think that anyone but family was really reading this blog. Now, I will have to try to be more creative. Thanks for commenting.
