To clarify too though - there is the Steem blockchain, and there are the Steemit servers. The Steem blockchain is the decentralized network where all of the posts/votes/etc. are stored. The Steemit.com servers are hosted by Steemit, Inc. Steemit, Inc does store a local copy of the images - so if your third party hosting site goes down, the images for the posts should still load, but Steemit, Inc can be censored - so images stored there are not as "safe" as what is on the blockchain.

Gotcha...did you see the link Craig-grant gave me? That appears to settle the issue, haha! Besides, my only real concern was that the pictures could disappear from the posts, leaving holes and lots of work. I've been happily chatting back and forth with the lovely @merej99, so thank you!
One possible solution to go around the potential censorship would be to use IPFS...I think
Thanks for the tip!
