Try editing your path, like this -
Code:
</ul>
</div><!--end 'recent_posts_wrap'-->
</div><!--end 'recent_posts'-->
<div id="dogcat"></div>
<a id ="fb" href="#"><img src="../css/images/buttonFB.png" alt="Facebook" title="Like Us!" border="0"></a>
<a id="twitter" href="#"><img src="../css/images/buttonTwitter.png" alt="Twitter" title="Follow us on Twitter!" border="0"></a>
</div><!--end 'left'-->
<div id="right">
If that path doesn't work, see this explanation of
relative/absolute paths.
What are you writing your markup in? Most editors will insert an image with a path relative to the working directory. As long as you're using a directory structure on your local machine that is similar to your server, that path will work.
