Hi figaro,
I moved blog again. and all seemed to go as planned utilizing your videos here, very helpful
However, I just found out my images are uploading to the old blog. I did the find/replace, did I miss something?
When I look in the database I see the images in the new database but in the guid column it shows they are in the old blog image upload: http://www.the-fly-on-the-wall.com/blog/wp-content (should be in the-fly-on-the-wall.com/wp-content) I found that the images where going to the wrong folder while looking for them in FTP.
Thanks a million.

@Tammy: In your admin, go to Settings/Miscellaneous and make sure the upload path is correct.
Oh man your awesome! That was the problem. Didn’t realize I had to change that. WOOT! Thanks! Tammy
This video tutorial is amazing! I’ve been dealing with this problem for a week and couldn’t find any easy-to-follow directions on this topic. Everything was very confusing! The directions I previously followed ended up taking my retail website offline for 7 days! After watching this video once, my site was back online and running perfectly! I can’t thank you enough!
Thanks so much for this video tutorial. It really helped me out!
I had a wordpress blog that went to subdirectory blog that I moved to subdirectory franchise_blog. I accidentally deleted the blog subdirectory, which made my franchise_blog not work properly (ERROR ESTABLISHING A DATABASE). Do you have any idea how I can redo anything without losing any posts etc?
@Shennan: Without being able to actually see what you have set-up, I not sure what to advise.

@Rajeev: Could be a lot of things, but if you can login to the blog, then try resetting your permalinks to default and see if that helps.
