Solved:
it needed to be:

<img src=”<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>

[Moderator note: I give up!]

Thank you, I’ve been reading that.
I changed it around,
I tried:
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/training-wheels.jpg"...

[And again… please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum’s parser.]

instead, but it didn’t work.
I placed the images in an images folder in the parent directory, they loaded properly. When I deleted the images folder from the parent directory it did not load (image folder is in the child theme).
Curiously, the background image in the css of the child theme is loading.

this is the code, I can’t find a br tag or a p, but they show up in firebug:

just add to the last post the br tag did not show up because I surrounded it by tags.
the ezcol-divider class contains an opening p followed by a br followed by a closing p

Thank you for the response. I opened the page using it in firebug and see the dividing line as follows:

<div class=”ezcol-one-quarter”>
<div class=”ezcol-one-quarter”>
<div class=”ezcol-one-quarter ezcol-last”>

<div class=”ezcol-divider”/>
<p>

</p>

<div class=”ezcol-one-quarter”>
<div class=”ezcol-one-quarter”>
<div class=”ezcol-one-quarter”>
<div class=”ezcol-one-quarter ezcol-last”>
<div class=”ezcol-divider”/>

How can I access that HTML to remove the <p> or
tags. I created a CSS rule to display:none for a <p> in the class .ezcol-divider. It worked but it seemed less elegant than removing it altogether.

Thank you for your answers. I am getting the gist of the structure, and I understand the static front page idea, and creating individual pages for each page in the site. Where do posts come in to all this? Are they a part of a CMS structure? If i would normally create a framework of divs for say a main content with two columns and three boxes underneath with other info to click to other pages, how would I structure that in my static front page?
Sorry for the ignorance, I just can’t seem to get over this hump.
very grateful to your replies,
