   Is there a good way to link to other posts on your site and images that are inside a theme from inside a post/page?

   I know I could use the URL (http://www.somesite.com/?p=3 or http://www.somesite.com/wp-content/themes/foo/images/bar.jpg) but that would break everything I moved WordPress to a different directory or domain, which I plan on doing.

   I could also installed PHPEXEC or a similar plugin and then use bloginfo('template_url') and bloginfo('url') but for this site there will be several editors who will need to edit these pages and it wouldn't be a good idea for them to have the ability to enter php code.

   Is there a way to use template tags in posts or something similar?

   Why not invent a new folder or folders on your server purely for this reason?

   I have a separate folder called: Images (Woohoo) that remains outside of the wordpress system, but on my server, and I upload all my images to there, because should I wish to move my site from its current directory the absolute last thing I want to do is open each and every post I've referenced to images and change the url. Plus, on a purely vanity point, I didn't like the over-long reference to images:

   ie: mysite.com/wp-content/themes/mythemename/images/imagename.jpg

   now it read: mysite.com/images/imagename.jpg

   You can create sub-folders within this new folder on your server for each editor, or sub-section ie: clippings and then upload the info as you go.

   Just a thought
