If you set the image file name to the same name as the previously created file name when using Weebly, you may have experienced that the existing image file disappears because it is overwritten.

This is really deadly on Weebly. Perhaps the problem is that the folder where the images are saved is the same, so you can't sort the before and after images in chronological order. I also had to lose my original image because of Weebly's fatal weakness.

In the case of Weebly, it is very difficult to search for and correct previous posts, so it is difficult to correct them individually when such mistakes occur. I panicked after first finding out about this. But from a consumer standpoint, it is unavoidable. We can only hope that Weebly will improve this situation as soon as possible. So I had to find my own way until this situation was resolved.

The method suggested by Weebly recommends saving the image file with a different name each time. But I also think this is a very ironic policy. Because how can I remember the names of so many posts and images one by one and rename them? This is absolutely impossible. In any case, it is bound to overlap with the existing image name.

​So I thought of a way. It is to capture and upload the image you want to upload. If you do this, you can save it under a different name because the capture time is always different. Since the capture is done, the file size is also reduced. Instead, it can be difficult if the resolution of the image needs to be high. But I'm still very satisfied with this method and I'm using it well. Anyway, I want Weebly to fix this quickly.

I have posted the below post before.

This is a list of tips and experiences that I, as a painter, have had while using the Internet and computers. I'm posting this in hopes of helping artists who aren't familiar with computers. And sometimes I get nice comments like below.

​I appreciate these professional comments. After reading this article, I discovered that my reviews are never in vain, and I am working hard to upload them in the future. Thank you for motivating and encouraging me.

This year, I upgraded my weebly plan from basic to pro, then I can use the search engine function finally. Before now, I used to apply the google's search engine for my website. For example, I remained it's function in my C.V like the below. 

Also, I posted the related information, the making process of the google free search engine to search your contents in your web site. 

How to create your free site search engine on Weebly.

But, it has included some advertisements, and then the user should see the list from google and your site, both with half and half ratio. Additionally, It is not 100% satisfied with the result. For instance, it can be shown a different result, which I can't have an intention. 

​The best alternative is to use the search engine provided by Weebly. This way, you can find the content on my site more clearly and accurately. And the pagination you craved so much for on the Weebly blog.

To help your understanding, I displayed both, search engines below. 
If you can search by putting your keyword in the empty box, you can find the result of the difference.

​ ​1. Do not install and use too many apps provided by Weebly

 Weebly provides various types of apps through the App Center. I also installed and used various apps such as before-after effect, a color box app, a team card, and a translator app in the early days. However, as time went on, I realized that doing a poster for a blog was time consuming. In other words, if you install a lot of these apps, it will take a lot of time while you post. It felt like a test of patience to me.

How to speed it up, if weebly running slow?

​ Currently, I have removed only two apps (H1, RSS FEED). This made my internet speed much faster.

 ​2. Think carefully about the name of the image you are uploading. The names must never overlap.

 The folder where Weebly manages images is in the only one folder, so if you upload an image with the same name as a previously uploaded image, it will overwrite the existing post. You'll get in a lot of trouble because it's hard to find where the overwritten image is. After experiencing this a few times, I capture the image I use and upload the captured image. This will prevent you from unknowingly creating an image with the same name.

 3. Please note that your posts on Weebly are not backed up.

Weebly also has a restoring feature for backing up your site.
I have sorted this out in a previous post.

However, the backup function provided by Weebly does not apply to blog posts. You must remember this.

 4. If you want to create a blog on Weebly and search for the content of your posts, you need to upgrade to the Pro service. And if this is also a burden, please refer to the site below.

​5. Are the data protection features provided by Weebly effective? It's my experience.

I paid a certain amount for the data protection service provided by Weebly and added it. This was to prevent hacking or harmful posts. However, even after applying for this service, many harmful postings have been posted for a while. In the end, I gave up on data protection. Instead, I captured and posted it whenever a valid posting came up. Rather, this analog method is helping to prevent harmful postings.

6. Bored of the layouts provided by Weebly? If you want to change it, coding is required. Unlike other blogs, Weebly has difficulty changing the layout of a blog once it has been fixed. If you want to change the width of the post (as in my case) you have to change the code like the site below. I'm an artist, but at this moment I was excited because I felt like I had become a programmer. 

A good little tip for Weebly: Save space

7. If you want to change the font of the whole Weebly.

The way is very close. But it's hidden and will be hard to find. Please refer to the method below

How do I change the text color on my website?

​In addition to the above items, there were some inconveniences while using Weebly. So, there are many people who often want to switch from Weebly to Word Process. But I still use Weebly. The reason for this is that element functions as an image-based interface. As an image thinker, memorizing and interpreting images is much easier and faster than text or code. So I prefer Weebly and still enjoy using it.

​Personally, I hope that this will be improved so that I can become a more powerful Weebly user.

  When writing blog posts on Weebly, you run into a lot of confusion. That's when you want to know how many articles you've written are piled up. Also, there is no way to search for the article when you want to see a certain page again or add something to it again. On Weebly, writing just builds up and is something that should be left alone. I sometimes think that Weebly is like Instagram.

 If you are using the free version (basic plan)of Weebly, there is no way to search and view your blog yourself. Of course, in my case, I had installed Google Search in the past. This is provided by Google and provides a search function that allows you to see some of the contents of the homepage along with some Google search contents. However, this also does not show pages that perfectly match the search keyword. In the end, it seems that the only way is to pay money and upgrade to the pro level (pro plan) to use the search engine provided by Weebly. Personally, I think that Weebly is asking too much payment for a search engine.
​
 Anyway, there are bloggers who fix this inconvenience by fixing the program code. If you go to the site below, if you have just started blogging and are using the free version, i.e. the basic plan, and your blog is not categorized, it is worth a try. This is a useful site that allows you to add search engines to uncategorized blogs for free.

   In my case, I got tired of enduring the inconvenience and eventually upgraded to a pro plan and added a search bar.  I want to search the content of the schedule within my site again, but that function is not available. And from some time ago, Google search caused inconvenience with wrong matching. I was finally able to run a search engine and search for specific pages within my site. I hope that Weebly will be able to provide this kind of problem on its own as a service level.
