   I'm an experienced programmer using WordPress for the first time :) I'm customizing a theme, and ran into this situation...

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

   The Hello.jpg file is located under the theme's folder:
   /wp-content/themes/Hello_World_Theme/images/Hello.jpg

   When I view the page, the image doesn't show up, because it's looking for it in /images
   instead of /wp-content/themes/Hello_World_Theme/images

   After doing some research, I found out about TEMPLATEPATH and tried using it like this in the index.php file:

   <img src="<? echo TEMPLATEPATH ?>/images/Hello.jpg" alt="Header" />

   I expected the output to look like this:
   <img src="wp-content/themes/Hello_World_Theme/images/Hello.jpg" alt="Header" />

   Instead, I got the computer's file path:
   <img src="D:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs/wp-content/themes/Hello_World_Theme/images/Hello.jpg" alt="Header" />

   Even though I'm viewing it online (not off my local box).

   Obviously, the image did not show up. So, what should I use instead of TEMPLATEPATH??

   Thanks, and God bless!

   Alright!
   <?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?> did the trick.

   Many thanks!
