 * Okay, so I’m new to all this so forgive my ignorance. I’ve got it all running,
   or so I thought. Being that I’m just toying with this for now, it’s running on
   a spare machine in my house at the moment. When I try to view my site locally(
   [http://127.0.0.1](http://127.0.0.1)) it works fine, but when I view it from 
   another computer the site looses all formating, and is nothing but text (no images
   or anything).
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * What else do you expect?
    Practically that address means “localhost” and every
   machine “thinks” of itself as localhost 🙂 -> looking for the stylesheet on its
   own hardware… but of course, cannot find. You can either see it locally or on
   the net.

 * Okay, well thanks for that lovely bit of insight, as that’s the conclusion I 
   had come to. Now can you help me out as to how I can make this work over the 
   net? I don’t mind hosting this on my local machine given the small ammount of
   traffic it will recieve. I just want it to work. I guess I should add, that I’ve
   used a dns service (no-ip.org) to resolve the host name for my page.

 * admin > Options > General: change the two URI values to whatever that address/
   host name is 😉
