    I have used a blog in Wordpress MU environment with my webhost. Now I have installed a manual version on my own and have imported all the data from my old blog, but the problem is the pictures. I can have the pictures downloaded and added all right (as "attachments") but the reference to these pictures is still static to my old blog. So, embedded in the post-text field of the database is the image adress for each image "http://oldblog.domain.com..." but the blog with its downloaded images are now at "http://newblog.domain.com..." so I wonder if there is a simple way of updating these, like a "replace all" function or something... surely other people have had the same problem in importing a blog?

    Yep, you need to update the actual database. If you are handy with SQL, you can write a simple replace function.

    Otherwise, I did just release a plugin which fixes this issue.
