   I'm brand new to WordPress and am trying to get my site set up the way I want it. I'm in Edit Template. The template I'm using is called WP_Premium 1.0 by Anonymous. There are three boxes in the sidebar for ads. Here's the code:

   <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/thumb2.gif">
   <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/thumb2.gif">
   <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/thumb3.gif"></img>

   I can't figure out the values to enter to actually get an image to appear. What should it look like?

   Thanks for any help.

   You need to enter the filename of an image in your wp-content/themes/images directory. That's all.

   Thanks for your reply. I created an images folders inside of my wp-content/themes directory and I uploaded the file to it. The code now looks like this:

   <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/8-smarts.gif">
   <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/thumb2.gif">
   <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/thumb3.gif"></img>

   When I click "visit" site, there's no image in teh sidebar and the three "ad boxes" are now reduced to two.

   What am I doing wrong?

   Again, thanks for any assistance you can give me?

   I've just started building it, so there's not much there now.

   Thanks for the help.

   The images need to be in the image directory of the current theme's folder. In other words:

   wp-content/themes/WP_Premium.zip Folder/WP_Premium.1/images

   Though I have to say that I'm a little bothered by the WP_Premium.zip Folder directory name.

   Thanks again for your help. The image now appears on the site.

   What is it that bothers you abou the WP_Premium.zip Folder directory name? Do you feel there are problems with this theme?

   That it contains spaces and the theme is one level deeper than it really needs to be. I can see the former creating problems at some stage.
