   Hey, I am new to wordpress and php, although I have experience in a C++ language (MEL). But am having problems trying to get on my feet with a few things.

   I'm creating a theme from scratch for my website. The theme directory has an images folder as well as the css and php files. The small problem I have is when the php files are brought together that html file is at "site.com/wordpress/page.html" so any images in the image folder won't work being relative to the index.php file.

   What is the code to get my images to have a prefix to the theme directory?
   I tried this after doing a search on here but it didn't work:
   <a href="#"><img src="<?php TEMPLATEPATH(); ?>/images/resume.gif" /></a>

   What am I doing wrong?
   Thanks for any help.

   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/images/resume.gif'; ?>

   Thanks, although I'm getting a problem that I think is bigger than I originally though (that I just didn't know the syntax).

   If I hard-code it, my site shows up fine:
   <a href="#"><img src="/images/resume.gif'" /></a>

   If I do this:
   <a href="#"><img src="<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/images/resume.gif'; ?>" /></a>

   Then my entire site dissapears and just shows white and the source is blank.
   Am I being completley stupid?

   Sorry my fault, its trying to include if you do that - although note you didnt have right closing bracket.

   Try this

   src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/resume.gif"
