All thumbnails changed to w=500. I've also stripped out the Vox links in the footer of each post. You should be able to look at the post revisions on the edit post screen to see what I'm talking about. Ok, I’ve finished the bulk edit for you. All thumbnails changed to w=500.

I noticed that they had the w=300 appended to the URL, but I didn't see anything change when I changed the media thumbnail/med/large sizes under Settings>Media, so I wasn't sure how to bulk edit the hundreds of photos I have posted without changing the URL for each one. For my future reference, if I preset the medium thumbnail size on my Wordpress dashboard to be 500pixels, will future imported Vox posts have the correct size photos displayed? Thanks again for your help!! Yes, if you could bulk edit all the thumbnails to 500 pixels that would be perfect, thanks!!

The importer did grab the full size images correctly. When the importer goes back and changes the image URL's to point to the image in the media library it uses the default WordPress medium thumbnail size which is 300px wide. This size is different from Vox's default size of 500px wide. If you look at the thumbnail image source in your blog posts you will see a ?w=300 appended to the URL. you can change that 300 to 500, save the post and it should re-size it properly. I'm an administrator on wordpress.com, I can bulk edit the image thumbnails to 500 if you'd like. Just let me know. I see what happened now. The importer did grab the full size images correctly.

This is my current WP.com blog: http://myediblememories.wordpress.com/ And for comparison, here is the Vox blog I imported from: http://lucyzhang.vox.com Most of the photos came out smaller than they were on Vox, and a couple were randomly larger than the rest. Some of the photos that were originally small are now bigger too. Basically all the sizes displayed in the WP posts are wrong :( Hi Brian, sorry I forgot to include a link to the blog.

Vox may have changed something in the image URL patterns. Hi Lucy,
Can you send me an example URL? Vox may have changed something in the image URL patterns.

I just realized that I coded the plugin for PHP 5. I've updated it just now to work with PHP 4. If you see version 0.5 in the plugin updates, that one should work.

He was sitting in an entrance and instead of begging on the street he played chess with people willing to give him some money, food, a drink or a cigarette in exchange for a story. We were staying along with that guy a couple of hours as he really played well and had a lot of stories to tell. I had similar experience once with a guy in Key West.
