   I am trying to customize my theme with social icons on my local host.
   But no matter what path I give the img src no image displays in the heading (I also tried to upload different images through html code across the site with no success). I am using MAMP. The images are located in my local host folder under wp-content/themes/theme/images

   I wrote this in the CSS:

   .custom #social-icons a img {
   float: right;
   margin-left: 0.3em;
   }

   and this in the header.php:

   <div id="social-icons">
   <a href="http://www.facebook.com"><img src="images/facebook_icon.png" width="32" height="32" alt="Facebook" /></a>
   </div>

   I appreciate the help. Thank You!

   try and use an absolute image path;
   example:
   <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/facebook_icon.png" width="32" height="32" alt="Facebook" />

   Wow! That works well. So do you have to use PHP code when you want to add an image in a php document, or that just for local hosts? I'm confused because I thought you could use HTML...

   Anyway thanks a million.
