Yeah apljdi, that’s the problem – I have nowhere near the bandwidth to download the images from someone’s Vox account to my webhost and then make the WXR file use a URL off my host with the extension appended based on MIME type.

I appreciate the suggestions from both of you jrevillini and apljdi, but it looks like I’ll just have to shelve this one until Vox starts adding extensions to its images and/or WordPress starts recognizing mime types on attachment URLs.

Nothing?

Absolute vs. relative paths – you probably need to read up on how to write HTML before you try to modify templates.

If you don’t have the URL that you could type into the browser that will take you exactly to the picture you want to insert, you don’t have the absolute path. For example, the absolute path to the first image on your blog right now is https://www.yceml.net/0834/10420034-2.gif

If you’ve got an X where the image is supposed to be, it sounds like the link to the image is different than the path to where the image is being stored. You may need to provide an absolute path to the image source in the place where you’re modifying the template, or revise the path to point to the appropriate location where the image is being stored?
