Goto the document library and copy the complete path of the image to be inserted in the blogs page in share.

Since the url is an absolute url , disable the relative url property in tinymce

Edit the following file /tomcat/webapps/share/modules/editors/tiny_mce.js

Add the following code @ line 15 to disable relative url attribute
config.relative_urls = false;

Let me know whether that fixes the issue.

Copying raw url for business users is error-prone.
I'd love to see a feature in the Share app that will allow connecting DocLib items with Blog entries.

The reason it's not available on the Blog page is that there's a lot of work to be done in order to support external publication of images. I don't think the common blog APIs support it, so we'd have to come up with another approach. Because a lot of Enterprises don't expose Share or the Repository externally, this becomes quite tricky. Suggestions welcome!

Thanks,
Mike

Let's leave the blog dashlet as it is now - to support external publishing.
Maybe there is a need for new dashlet that would serve as a "news page". The dashlet would allow to compose articles and link them with doclib items if necessary.
