 * we are trying to figger out wordpress and there is one thing going wrong. i can’t
   put a picture in a page. you see the name of the picture standing there put the
   picture itself not. i checked for caps lock etc inside the name of the picture
   but nothing. i checked if the url is right but nothing. so i dont’t know anymore
   why the picture is not comping up on the screen. is there someone out there who
   has any idea or can help me??? thanks very much.
 * p.s. f.e. it happens on this page:[http://www.muziektalenten.nl/?page_id=8](http://www.muziektalenten.nl/?page_id=8)
   
   after the first text you see a blank line and the word ‘bom’.well in stead of
   that word there should be a picture. (i thougt )

 * You’re not providing the correct path in the url to your images. If you’re going
   to place them in your theme’s images sub-directory (which is not a good location
   for post images, but it’s your blog), then you want to use the following path:
 * `/wp-content/themes/3c-black-letterhead/images/`

 * The default in WordPress is to use wp-content/uploads/. Some change that to wp-
   content/images/ (for image uploads, naturally), while others (like myself) go
   with the standard images/ in the root directory. But it’s up to you.
 * To explain my point, the reason it’s not a good idea using a theme’s src or images(
   or whatever) sub-directory for uploading post images to is, you never know when
   you’re going to change themes.

   images on the web. for instance
    [http://www.muziektalenten.nl/?page_id=6](http://www.muziektalenten.nl/?page_id=6)
