[support] Proper Way to insert images into page

FYI : Using drupal 7.23 on Mac OS X 10.7 Database is MySQL

WYSWIG Editor is CKEditor 3.6.5.7647 and images are inserted using the Media Browser plugin.

For this particular website it is my preference to to my changes on my desktop and then 'push' to server.

I'm new to drupal but I have been a programmer since 1987. Familiar with command *nix command line...

Problem : Using media browser without any tweaking and I have an image URL that will look something like this: http://localhost:8080/drupal/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/sod-hou... Obviously, that isn't going to work on a server.

What is the proper way to make the image displayable on other machines?

TIA
