Hi there.
I am trying to customize the look of my WPMU site by altering the default kubrick theme.
I successfully pointed the header.php to my own header jpg image (basically just altered the kubrick header) but I am having trouble getting any other images to work.
I know the following image exists, but when include it in the home.php file I just get a red-x and when I follow the path I just get redirected to the blog.
http://www.xblogspot.com/images/button.gif
What gives?
Due to the structure of Wordpress MU it uses a lot of rewrite rules to make sure requests get to the right place and that is probably redirecting your request to something that doesn't exist.
If your images directory is separate to your WPMU install and just holds static content that you want to include on all your blogs or if it doesn't have to be different for each blog at all then in the images directory create a .htaccess file with:
RewriteEngine Off
That should allow the images to display.
