    So I have read that you can move the 'wp-content' folder in wordpress. I haven't really seen a definitive answer on how this this is done so I thought I would ask here.

    How do you move this. I want to call it 'assets' as part of security via obfuscation. Getting ready to upgrade a Wordpress Site to 2.8.0 beta 2 so this would be a good time to make this change.

    I'm not sure Wayne once upon a time I tried renaming wp-admin for security purposes and it broke things badly. It would be nice if it weren't hard coded and a variable could be set to for it like vB.

    Same difference uploaded images are absolute paths, I say they should be relative in case you switch domains but no body listens to me. :D

    Where did you hear this? Maybe the source can point you towards instructions on how to accomplish this?
