  As far as I know you cannot move your media library from one blog to another all at once. You’ll have to download every image onto your hard drive and re-upload them to the new blog’s library. (You could export your posts from one blog – that usually exports the images in those posts as well – and then import it to the new one, but it’s not a guarantee that the images will transfer correctly and you’ll have to delete all the posts if you don’t want them in other blog: http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/)

  However, you can use images from one blog’s library in posts in another blog by adding media “From URL” while writing a post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/#insert-an-image-from-the-web From your dashboard of the blog containing the images, go to the library, find the image you want and select edit. The URL will be in a box on the right. Copy that and paste it in the “Add Media” pop-up window in the other blog.

  If you’re trying to insert an image via URL the shortlink won’t work, no. You have to use the full image URL and you can only find that in the Edit Image window. Here’s the instructions how to find that. http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/image-settings/ You’ll find the URL in the “Save” box, usually on the far right of the screen but if you’re on a narrow screen it will be underneath the image.
