css images not showing with template

so you have to use an absolute url for these images? no short prefix to the directory? bummer then.

the paths to the images are within the index.php template. the css file sets the negative amounts so that they show in the corners correctly. as i can do outside of the wordpress software. when used in the software it shows the images but as a group and isn’t spacing them correctly too.

here is the index.php with the area where i inserted the code:

the full code doesn’t show unless you select it and drag right for some reason. no auto scroll funct here!

look for the “start” and “end” comments between those are the inserted code

get_header();
get_sidebar();
