 * Problem solved. I went to this website:
    [http://roshanbh.com.np/2008/04/check-enable-mod_rewrite-apache.html](http://roshanbh.com.np/2008/04/check-enable-mod_rewrite-apache.html)
 * And I figured it out. Boy, I never would have guessed that that was what I was
   supposed to do. Thanks, guys!

 * I actually just found that link on WordPress. It explains that you need a mod_rewrite
   module in Apache. I found the httpd.conf file and opened it, but none of it really
   makes any sense to me. Where do I and how do I add the mod_rewrite module?

 * I finally found a tutorial that explains what mod_rewrite is and how to use it.
   I see what you are getting at, but it seems kind of impractical to have to mod_rewrite
   for every single one of my links. I plan on dealing with hundreds of links, eventually(
   to blog posts, forums, project pages, et cetera). There has to be a fix within
   WordPress.

 * How would I go about doing that? I searched “mod_rewrite localhost” on Google,
   but I did not find anything explaining on how to actually do it. I did not just
   want to come out and ask that question. Thank you in advance!

 * I wrote a similar post on CSS-Tricks and someone was kind enough to help me. 
   My problem stems from the URL I was referencing to. I am still getting used to
   the syntax used in HTML and PHP, and the individual who helped me, pointed out
   that I did not need to reference the entire string of files leading back to the“
   root” folder. They said “If ‘style.css’ is in the theme folder and the image 
   is in an ‘images’ folder in the theme folder then:”
 * `body {background: url(./images/body-bg.png) top center repeat-x white}`
 * I simply just had to reference the “blank” themes folder. Simple as that. I knew
   it was a quick fix. I hope that this helps anyone else who may have this same
   problem.
