Courtelise,
We’re two peas in a pot. I to am working on my first theme to release and ran into the same image problem. After finding your post and pouring through the forum, I found a solution.
When you reference your image in the “img src” first place this php function after you open your quotations: <?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?> and then reference the image as usual.
Ex. <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/image.jpg" alt="whatever"/>.
That should work. It worked for me. Hope this helps (especially if you still haven’t resolved the matter).
By the way, I’m using MAMP on my Macbook to build the theme first. So the issue of whether the theme is being hosted locally or not shouldn’t really matter.
