 * With my host, I moved my domain from the root of my webspace to a folder. I moved
   my wordpress installation into that folder from the root. The domain is pointed
   at that directory now so the site works fine. Typing in my domain name brings
   up my blog and all features but one work as they should.
 * When I upload media, it creates a wp-content folder in the root of my webspace,
   not in the folder that my domain now is in. In essence it is making:
 * /wpcontent/
 * instead of
 * /domain/wp_content/
 * Since that is outside of my domain, and infact no domains are pointed at the 
   root of my space, no media that I upload will display. The HTML that it puts 
   in the post is correct (domain/wp_content/…) but the pictures are in the wrong
   place.

 * Check the settings in the WordPress admin under Settings => Miscellaneous Specifically,
   Check “Store uploads in this folder” is set to “wp-content/uploads”
