    In my .htaccess file I’m using this:
    # START EZSTATIC RULE
    RewriteRule ^information/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?static=$1 [QSA]
    # END EZSTATIC RULE
    The uri’s deplay how I want, but now the background images, etc don’t display as they are on my blog.
    Please help.

    To make sure you always have the proper path to images (etc.), start at the root and work your way down. For example, say I have a background image in a directory called images, a subdirectory of my weblog’s root. I might point to it this way in my css:
    body {
    background-image: url(images/bg.jpg);
    }
    This works as long as a page resides in the directory where “images” is a subdirectory. Using mod_rewrite places pages (virtually) in other subdirectories, so the path to the images directory becomes invalid. To deal with this, I provide an absolute path to my background image, like so:
    body {
    background-image: url(/images/bg.jpg);
    }
    The slash (/) before images starts the directory path at the root, and now will always be located by a page.

    Another alternative to EzStatic is Faked Folders (if you haven’t tried it already).
