Personally, I just use Filezilla (a free FTP client) to upload images to my Uploads file. The same thing happens if you use the Add Media option in the Media Library view or when you're writing a post in Wordpress. My absolute paths usually end up looking something like this:
background-image: url("http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/myimage.jpg")

margin-top:50px;
font-weight:bold;
margin-right:255px;
padding-right:45px;
background:url("http:www.qoostudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/badgeiconweb.png");
}
I'm trying to make a icon for a bullet in my list, but I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried doing list-style-image instead of background, but that didn't work also. Is there a problem in my code? Is this task possible using Filezilla?

15,479 PointsOops. My bad. The beginning of the absolute path should be http:// not http:
What page are you trying to set that on? Home page?

Here's the answer: .entry ul li { list-style-image: url("http://www.qoostudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/icon.png"); }
