 * I “moved” the content over to the root index today, and all seems to be going
   well so far. However, there is one small issue I would like to resolve. In order
   to get the background image specified in my CSS I had to use an absolute URL,
   which I don’t like to do because it can lead to issues with mirrored domains,
   etc. I noticed in header.php there is TEMPLATEPATH to handle such things, but
   when I tried to use it in my PHP-enabled CSS file, it didn’t work. Do you know
   what else I might need to add to make TEMPLATEPATH functional?

 * The structure of you theme shouldn’t change. For example
    wp-content/ -themes/–
   yourtheme/ —style.css —index.php —other theme files —-images/ —-yourheader.jpg
   just reference the header image as relative from where the style sheet resides
   in this example under wp-content/themes/yourtheme/style.css. So when referencing
   your image use images/yourheader.jpg.
