Philo Hagen
I started blogging on Blogger back in 2000, eventually moved to using Movable Type, have had numerous blog sites over the years - usually several at once - and after years with MT I finally couldn't take it anymore and made the leap to Wordpress. I can only say, "Why on Earth didn't I do this sooner?" I am using Buddypress on two of my sites, Hooping.org and NightOwlNation.com.

@philohagen By moving the blog, you broke all of the image links. Version 0.1.9 automatically handles this situation, but version 0.1.7 (which you’re using) does not. It hard codes the image paths into the database. You’ll either have to run a SQL command that removes the /wordpress/ string from the filepath and URL columns in the [...]

@philohagen So to clarify then:
1) Images uploaded before you moved the blog do not work, and,
2) Images you uploaded *after* you moved the blog *do* work?^F^
