    Okay so using the Upload/Insert button I go to ‘From URL’ and select my files that way are you saying this is the best way to do it?
    `
    I have noticed now if I put in the full path for the src="www.mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/images/file.png">It displays my image fine. Is it possible to have all my images stored in an images directory in the root of the WordPress installation so that I dont need such a long URL to my files?

    Thanks again for all your help with this Chris.. i know its quite frustrating but I think once I get WordPress to do what I want it to it will make things much easier in the long run :)

    @nathan2012 I’m not frustrated at all. Glad to help. In the backend go to Settings > Media
    From there scroll down until you see Uploading Files and in the Full URL Path to files put in the full path to the images folder in the root of your site.

    Example

    http://yoursite.com/images

    Sorry I meant myself getting frustrated lol. I have tried that Chris with no joy, is WordPress only able to access images within its theme directory. Im sure I seen one of Chris’ Screencasts where images where located in the root of the WordPress install and referenced. Although granted that was through editing the code in Coda rather than within WordPress dashboard..

    Try giving a trailing slash at the end? Who knows if @chriscoyier actually hard coded those images into his theme.

    I think i found the problem.. Dreamweaver was telling me my images directory had moved but it hadnt so opened Filezilla and made the change and hey Presto :-) Now I see why Chris uses Coda so much instead :P lol

    Is it best practice to edit your pages through the WordPress editor or is it there a preferred method?

    Dreamweaver isn’t the best thing to be using for sure. So it’s working now?

    Personally, I use Sublime Text. I’ve never used the WordPress Editor.

    Were you planning on putting this into WordPress the whole time?

    It’s definitely going to be work. Unless you create custom page templates.
