Full Version: HTML/CSS WONT WORK
You link to files on your own HD both in IMG tags and in links to other pages. Yeah, I know you run the server off your own machine, but your file system can't be accessed from the web. You must use real URLs, not file:///....
That doesn't mean you need to use full URLs (starting with http://). You can use relative URLs.
http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/basics.html#relative-url
Also, the files you link to must be inside the document root, i.e. the directory you have configured the server to use for web pages. You can't link to any file on your HD as it looks like you may have done. The server can't serve files outside the document root and that's a good thing for security reasons.

Your files point to local files on your computer, hence the "file:///C... " everywhere. Use relative URL's. See http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/basics.html#relative-url
Then you have a DOCTYPE which isn't finished, lacking the url to the DTD. See http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/
And you have a HEAD section inside BODY with a LINK to a CSS file. Put that <link...> in the HEAD at the top.
<head><link href="file:///C|/Users/Tony Gonzalez/Downloads/irishbar/imagination/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
