 * Hey, I am new to wordpress and php, although I have experience in a C++ language(
   MEL). But am having problems trying to get on my feet with a few things.
 * I’m creating a theme from scratch for my website. The theme directory has an 
   images folder as well as the css and php files. The small problem I have is when
   the php files are brought together that html file is at “site.com/wordpress/page.
   html” so any images in the image folder won’t work being relative to the index.
   php file.
 * What is the code to get my images to have a prefix to the theme directory?
    I
   tried this after doing a search on here but it didn’t work: `<a href="#"><img
   src="<?php TEMPLATEPATH(); ?>/images/resume.gif" /></a>`
 * What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for any help. Christian

 * Thanks, although I’m getting a problem that I think is bigger than I originally
   though (that I just didn’t know the syntax).
 * If I hard-code it, my site shows up fine:
    `<a href="#"><img src="/images/resume.
   gif'" /></a>`
 * If I do this:
    `<a href="#"><img src="<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/images/resume.
   gif'; ?>" /></a>`
 * Then my entire site dissapears and just shows white and the source is blank.
   
   Am I being completley stupid? Christian

 * Sorry my fault, its trying to include if you do that – although note you didnt
   have right closing bracket.
 * Try this
 * src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/resume.gif”
