I tried to fix it all. Might have made it worse. 
Ah the good old LJ days....

To fix, you need to edit,

which you already know. Then  delete the old photo uploads,

and then reload the new BS, including photos actually upside down rather than that bloody annoying 180° rotation ,

You can also add new/change old content in the body... and don't forget to save.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
