 * Okay, so i got wordpress up and running. I am trying to link an image to appear
   in the header.
 * this is the path i am using:
    blog/wp-content/images/living.png
 * the image shows up as an red X, why does this happen, i tried also to link it
   to a jpeg, but that also gave the same result, what can i do?

 * dont use that path, use the full url to the image, OR use a path that is relative
   to your webroot, like so:
 * /blog/wp-content/images/living.png
 * the / tells it to start at webroot
 * and note that webroot isnt necessarily the root of your WordPress install
 * your WP root is blog/
 * your webroot is one directory up from there, based on the info you have provided.
