Simple fix!

Change your links to your images to:

background: url(/images/image-file-name.jpg);

Note the forward slash in the very beginning. That tells the CSS file to find the image in the site root. I’ll give you a few examples.

For these examples, we’ll say that your CSS file lives exactly where it does now, in a folder called “css”.

images/image-file-name.jpg
translates to:
http://www.yoursite.com/css/images/image-file-name.jpg

/images/image-file-name.jpg
translates to:
http://www.yoursite.com/images/image-file-name.jpg

Remember that the link is always relative to the file that it is being called from!
