I won't be able to try to correct it until next Monday, but thanks for the advice. I will be in touch. Thanks John, I'm afraid events have taken over.

Is there an error message? Yes, the path in your image is wrong. Remember that you arent specifying a directory path on your computer but a URL to your local website. WAMP will make the directory c:\wamp\www appear at http://localhost, so you only need to specify the path from there. For example, if your image is C:/wamp/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/mimbo2.2/images/leadpic.jpg then the URL is http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/mimbo2.2/images/leadpic.jpg. You can even remove the http://localhost part and just have a purely relative path. It sounds like you've installed your theme in a subdirectory of the same name as the theme. You would be better off moving the mimbo2.2/mimbo2.2 directory up one level Why wont they save? Is there an error message?

I'm up and running with Wamp and WordPress and have downloaded a theme (Mimbo 2.2 by Darren Hoyt) to the themes folder. I'm having trouble changing the html of the opening page, with reference to images. I save the changes but they won't save. After saving I still don't see the images and if I close down and then open again the saves haven't been saved either. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? 2. Here is the code <a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?p=12" title="Permanent Link to Introduction" rel="nofollow"></a> <a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?cat=3" title="View all posts filed under Introduction" rel="nofollow">Introduction</a> To get the correct image I have tried changing the code to <img src="http://localhost/C/wamp/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/mimbo2.2/images/leadpic.jpg" (I don't know why I've got 2 mimbo2.2 folders!) Is the file path right or wrong? If wrong, could you suggest what it should be please? Many thanks I have 2 questions.

Here is the code

Introduction

To get the correct image I have tried changing the code to
<img src="http://localhost/C/wamp/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/mimbo2.2/images/leadpic.jpg"
(I don't know why I've got 2 mimbo2.2 folders!)

Basically the database would still be online, but the address to call the blog and the files would all be locally hosted - basically to keep any people who are not on our intranet out! Any advice much appreciated, Cheers, Gav Hiya,
