I have a WP blog hosted at a http://example.com/~name/wp [1]
I have a domain name http://somewhere.com/ [2] I have set up this domain to forward any requests that go to it to [1]. For example, http://somewhere.com/123 goes to http://example.com/~name/wp/123 and http://somewhere.com/images/myimage.jpg goes to http://example.com/~name/wp/images/myimage.jpg
Essentially, I would like to change the base URL of the links, images, etc. to be [2] with absolute paths instead of [1] with the relative path.
(I'm certainly not a professional, so if I'm misguided, please do correct me - I'll learn something!)
Cheers,
Justin

If not all is possible, would at least changing the post permalinks and pages links be possible?
I basically don't want [1] to be visible. I want [2] to be visible.

I'm almost certain you can do it. Try going into the settings and changing the blog address URL (not the wordpress instalation URL).

I've tried that. When I change that, though, accessing my posts and pages yields the following error page:
Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.
All the CSS and links seem to be fine as the URLs use [2], but the content cannot be retrieved.

Hmmm...did you also try moving the wordpress install link? (note that if it dosn't work though, you will have to recover your install, but I don't believe that's too hard).

the wp install link? by that do you mean the wordpress address? i've changed it to [2] and it seems to work, but then when i try to log in it doesn't log in (i just get the log in page again) and all the links have the path of [1]
