my problem….re-worded!

I have a problem, I am making a theme, and using CSS to style the various different components, such as the header DIV, for which i want to use a background image. I am testing the theme locally, and am running XAMPP. all files for the theme are stored at c://xampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/tutorial. All background images are inserted using the CSS file.

However, I have tried to use background images in the CSS styling a few times, and none of the images are appearing.The images appear if i use a full URL from a hosted source on the net and insert that as an image (img src…) directly into the php file where I would want the image to be, but obviously that’s not going to work well. However, when calling the images in the CSS file, it doesn’t matter whether I use a full URL or the images/header.jpg path that dreamweaver uses, neither appear….its driving me MAD.

Ive tried uploading the theme to my server to test it online to see if it is just an issue with testing the theme locally through XAMPP but the images still don’t appear…

The images for the theme are stored inside the ‘images’ folder in the themes folder.

🙁

also, one more small thing, is there a way, to get the postmetadata in each post to appear on a single line instead of 2 lines like this:

thank you in advance to anyone that can help.

Also, I realize I posted this problem earlier, but no-one replied, so I’m hoping me posting it again, with a more detailed explanation of the problem will help.
