    I'm having a similar problem. Any pics saved on the server (except theme images), namely those uploaded by me into the /uploads area, cannot be seen on any page where they are referenced.
    The only ones that show up are those that reference pictures hosted by other servers. I'll be anxious to see if anyone has some suggestions. Good luck to us both. I can't formally switch from Blogspot to WordPress until this issue is resolved. (www.lifetechrobotics.com)

    Problem Solved (for me, hopefully for you)!
    I went into the Admin/Settings/Miscellaneous .
    I made sure Store uploads in this folder was "wp-content/uploads" (without the quotes), and
    I set the Full URL path to files to equal the the whole path as follows:
    http://www.(domainname).com/wp-content/uploads
    with no slash at the end.

    Ignore the guidance message that says "Configuring this is optional..." and consider it mandatory. Hope this helps you. It worked for me.

    @aangler:

    Reference images with an absolute path instead of a relative path:

    I.e. in the widget on the top left:

    <img src="/wp-content/uploads/orvis_166x95.gif"

    or

    <img src="http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/orvis_166x95.gif"

    instead of

    <img src="wp-content/uploads/orvis_166x95.gif"
