Upload the images to a site like Tinypic or Photobucket, then replace the old URLs.
simplify the entry dateThis is actually highly recommended, because the layout was designed for this format.

Go to Entry Text » Format for Date and Time (Recent/Friends/Entry/Reply page) and copy one of the two date format options into the box. (You can view samples of each in the Modern and Wood previews, respectively.)
