I guess i'm gonna have to double up some of my files then... oh well... if it makes everything work it'll be cool... I'll just have to remember to copy to multiple folders...

As always thanks for the help

blog.yourdomain.com is ROOT
yourdomain.com/blog is a sub-directory

The difference is in how you access it. Basically a sub-domain works like a regular domain.

If you have blog.yourdomain.com set up, and you can still access yourdomain.com/blog I would recommend that you a) make sure all your images relating to blog.yourdomain.com are in the /blog/ directory or b) you redirect all calls to yourdomain.com/blog/ to blog.yourdomain.com using the .htaccess file.

ok... now i am confused... LOL if blog.davidjaymz.com points to the folder davidjaymz.com/blog where does the difference occur?

as always any and all help is appreciated

no this wont work for blog.davidjaymz.com since your website root does not contain the image folder you cannot go higher up then root on a properly configured server

yes -- that's why I suggest using /images/whatever as your src, it will prevent things that are in different folders getting confused, especially when you use the same file across different directories!

so using Quotes ".." will take me back to the root?
The reason i'm asking is because if you go to my blog (davidjaymz.com/blog) everything works and i've used (../) but if you go to blog.davidjaymz.com which is the same blog... the pages show up but no css and no images... is this due to the use of ../ to get out of directories and into other ones?

As always thanks for any and all help

of course, it's easier to not get lost and just code

Then you just need to know where that image directory is, instead of where it is in relation to your file.

Thanks for any help
