image tags empty in imported blogger posts
-
I imported my posts from my blogger blog blog.dirtbikejunkieracing.com and most all the image tags are empty in the imported posts. I noticed that for posts that had the images in a <p></p> are fine.
for example this post failed with the image tags converted to <img>

where as this post succeeded image tags remaining intact
http://blog.dirtbikejunkieracing.com/2007/04/broken.html
the difference I see is an extra <p> wrapping the post and images
<div class=’post-body’>
<p><img src=”http://cmac.smugmug.com/photos/2430-S-1.jpg”/>found a sweet picture of…</p>
<div style=’clear: both;’></div>
</div><div class=’post-body’>
<p><p style=”text-align: justify;”><img src=”http://lh5.google.com/image/dirtbikejunkie/RjYyVRzVZlI/AAAAAAAAAwM/DwXoTpWd1lI/s800/146332915-L.jpg” /></p>well, looks like I am</p>
<div style=’clear: both;’></div>

I fear you’re asking in entirely the wrong blogging platform support forum bud. The links you’ve provided above are for a blogger or blogspot blog.
This forum is specifically dedicated to wordpress.com hosted blogs and we can’t (and won’t!) answer questions for blogger blogs.
If you have a wordpress.com blog, please accept my apologies. Can you provide the wp.com blog URL so we can help you?

hmm… maybe I was not clear before…. I am not asking for help with blogspot, my problem is in wordpress when importing posts from my blogspot blog. somehow the imported posts are losing the content of the image tags.
-
and to further clarify, the links in my original post above is to give examples of the posts that I imported into wordpress and had issue with.

Right. The problem is that Blogspot doesn’t allow hotlinking. Your images are going to have to be imported one by one and re-hosted at WordPress or some third place that allows hotlinking.

raincoaster, I don’t understand what you are saying, and no matter what why is it the case that some of the posts I imported into wordpress are showing images correct but others are not?
here is an example of an imported press that did successfully receive the image tag content
where as this imported post has <img> tags empty??

Okay, I see you’re not hosting your images at Blogspot, and that your image host allows hotlinking. That’s good. Obviously my default import/image problem assumption doesn’t apply here.
But looking at the code for your images, it looks like in the second case WordPress didn’t know what to do with those images, didn’t even recognize them as images, because the code it put in there was for links, not images. I don’t know why that would be one way one time and another way another time, particularly when the structure of the URL is identical.
How many posts are we talking about? Because if you look at the blog in the Code editor, all the info is still there and making it display properly wouldn’t be a big deal, but it would definitely have to be done one by one.
I’m afraid we’ve reached the limit of my tech abilities. Maybe someone more tech savvy can suggest a workaround. All I could find was this:
