   New user here - I'm just really messing about with the default template to get a sense of what's what.

   The thing which has me really stumped tonight is that if I try to insert an image into the template using an <img> tag, it does not show up on the page. I put a small image into the "image" folder in the template and tried to insert it in various places in the template, like this:

   <img src="images/cellphone.jpg" />

   ..but it won't display. I've tried it in the header, the content, the navigation - everywhere. Can anyone explain to me what's going on? Do I have the path wrong or something like that? I tried using an absolute path but that didn't work either.

   You need to use the absolute link. Replace it with this instead:

   <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/cellphone.jpg" />

   The first php code gets the URL of the template which gives it an absolute link.
