# Inserting images not working

 * I’ve tried inserting an image into a blog post, but for some reason it isn’t 
   working. The image is located in the public_html/blog/images subdirectory. Should
   image files be in a certain subfolder? I know this probably has more to do with
   my hosting, but on the off chance it is a wordpress problem I could use some 
   help.
 * Also, I have a suspicion that it’s theme that is causing the problem. This is
   the one I am using:

 * Thanks.

 * A link to a post on your blog displaying this problem would help in troubleshooting
   it.

 * The only thing there is some text and then a broken image link below it.

 * A link to your blog allows us to look at the code and test a few things. Without
   a link it’s like trying to find a polar bear in a blizzard 🙂

 * You do have the wrong path:
 * [http://www.zachcummo.com/public_html/blog/images/Lolopoly.jpg](http://www.zachcummo.com/public_html/blog/images/Lolopoly.jpg)
 * should be:
 * [http://www.zachcummo.com/blog/images/Lolopoly.jpg](http://www.zachcummo.com/blog/images/Lolopoly.jpg)
 * Your public_html/ directory is in fact your web site’s root directory. It should
   not be made part of any url to something on your site.

 * Idiot? Nah. Even a misstep can still lead in the right direction. `;)`
