I've been cranking along making copies of pages from my Summer Tour 99 journal. after a few hours I have the first five days of that journal copied, but when I went to create the sixth page, the image transfer process broke down. 

I start by copying images - screen capture, cropping, saving the images locally then uploading the image files to the current page. Now the upload process, which still looks normal - it shows the image file transfer as a percentage for each file it uploads - partially breaks down when  putting the images into the web page that is being created.  Some of the images are 'not found'. All of the image files work properly locally and the upload acts normal but the insertion fails some of the time. This means I can't create the copy web pages.

I had successfully copied 35 journal pages over half a dozen days, including five today, before this problem cropped up. 

Mark, not directly related to your current problem, but why do you bother with screen capturing, cropping etc? Unless intentionally disabled by the admin, every picture on any web page can be downloaded by right-clicking on it  and choosing "Save image as...".

This way images are easily copied to your locale without losing image quality. You will just have to retype their captions after uploading to the new page.

Good suggestion. On my own web pages, which don't have captions, that should work well. On crazyguy web pages, where I often used the caption for a lengthy comment on the image, it was faster and easier to just cut  the image with the caption from the screen capture. 

I just tested putting a few images in a web page and it worked so I may not have that problem this morning.

Using alt-S to capture the images was faster and easier than using screen capture, but the resulting web page format was a ugly. It had much smaller versions of the images and unlike the screen capture version, I could not use the side by side format I had used on the second and third images when creating these tour pages. The copy web page  did not look like the original and was not nice to look at.

I'm not familiar with Alt-S and this combination does nothing on my computer, so I can't comment on it. Anyway, what works for you is the fastest way.

When I migrated here, I had my all original pictures already on my locale, so I didn't have to download them from anywhere.

By the way, I'm subscribed to bicycletouring mail list and have been following your journeys over the years thru that list, I even have a special folder for your mails. Thanks for the inspiration and keep them coming.

Alt-s is the equivalent of your right (or is it left? it has been years since I used a mouse) click. My Chromebooks have a touch pad.

My touring images from twenty years ago exist only on my own web pages which are on my former department's server. interestingly, the screen shot image files are MUCH bigger than the files of the same images captured by Alt-S on my Chromebook. Those files are more like big thumbnails.

It is always nice to hear from touring list members! There aren't many of us active any more, but I still usually get better touring related  information from 'the list' than anywhere else. Speaking of  list members, I think my first meeting with Jim Foreman was on Day 11 of tour99.  He is in his early 90s now, and still active on the web.

Yesterday I got six more pages up and discovered a much easier way to make  copies of pages.. I'm using Chrome  - the most common browser today - and I think this behavior is due to the browser, not the OS. What I discovered was that doing a ctrl-a - selecting the whole page of my original web page- and then doing ctrl-c to copy the original page and ctrl-v in a cycleblase web page editing window, copied the entire web page including the images! 

However, I discovered today that the images are not really transferred.   Being a retired CS prof who coded those pages in html, I should have realized that there was nothing in the transfer process that actually copied the images! What the transfer does is to create an image of the size of the reduced image but does not store the image data on cycleblaze except as image data in the stored image , when the web page is accessed again all that is there is the properly formatted text with  blank image boxes where the images should be.

Now, to copy a web page to cycleblaze, I first select all (ctrl a) and then copy(ctrl c) on the original page and then, after creating an empty  page on cycleblaze, I paste (ctrl v) it into the empty page. Then, switching back and forth between tabs containing the original page and the copy page, I open the page I want to copy from and use screen copy and an editor to remove the non image bits and save the edited image to a file. Then I switch to the  cycleblaze tab, find and delete the corresponding empty frame using the backspace key, and use cycleblaze's file image button - the one that looks like a camera -   to insert the edited image in the place where the blank image was. I repeat this cycle for all of the images in the original web page.

This way of copying a web page is easier, faster, and less error prone than anything else I've tried.  In my case, the result is  a web page has images that are slightly bigger than the images in the original web image.  It would be nice if I knew how to have cycleblaze  maintain the image sizes from the original page but, except when the image formatting is complex, this works fine.
