Mass changes to links in posts?
-
Months ago I moved my blog from a Blogger FTP blog (on my own server) to a WordPress blog (on my own server). Everything works great but all of my graphics still point to their location on my old domain. I want to move all of my old Blogger-uploaded graphics over to my new WordPress blog’s domain and completely sever ties to that old domain. Moving the graphics is easy, but what is the best way to fix all the image links to reflect the new image locations in 500 posts? Do I need to manually fix each and every img tag in each and every post? Or is there some way that I can automate it?
For example:
This is the way my images display on older posts that were imported into my new WordPress blog. Because the images still exist over there the images do display properly, but I want to delete them from the old domain.

https://www.NEWDOMAIN.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/OLDUPLOADSFOLDER/filename.jpgIf these pages were all static I could easily do a find and replace but I know WordPress keeps all these links in a database, so is there anyway to automate this process or do I have to edit the HTML of each and every post?
