Ah – ha!! Thank you thank you thank you!
I was having a lot of trouble with hotlinking so I disabled that with the .htaccess file. I’ll worry about that later.
I never even thought of that – you’ve been a great help.
I didn’t hand code the images, so the “/> was put in automatically. Plus isn’t that W3C best practices?
I’m not running any plugins.
Thanks again!
And p.s. I’d call WP not giving me an error message about trying to upload to a non-existent directory a bug.
Well that’s pretty silly, especially considering that I installed WordPress via my hosting provider (Dreamhost).
Thanks for your help.
