  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  So, here is the code from one of those missing images:

  <img alt="Of50480286" src="http://getfile1.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-01-05/xznaxfGctahlgkrulIcJCaxmdhBHxkvJwjElBopvnffCxJCIDJGzmhidIuph/of50480286.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="479" height="286" />

  That code is for an image hotlinked from Posterous. Posterous, sadly, has ceased operations. So any image that you were hotlinking from them is going to be gone and as far as I understand, will be unrecoverable. You will have to upload it again from your computer to your WordPress.com media library and reinsert it into the post.
