I've been working on a prototype of the Inkscape news using WordPress, but am having trouble as URIs for archives come out like "/archives/2005/01/". Due to the relative paths used on the website, the browser then can't locate the stylesheets, and links point to the wrong place on those pages.
So... does it matter if I change to absolute paths? (Which, IMHO, are better anyway)
Well, before you do any changes, why don't you show us all what you have done so far. Absolute paths make testing the site difficult on other peoples machines. Also, then the site is not very portable. One of the reasons I'm not totally sold on CMS' or blog management systems is that aforementioned do these types of hard-path/absolute path which then won't allow developers to test wherever they like on their own machine, and then have dependency-laden code break without installing X, Y, and Z. However, maybe your work will prove me wrong ;)
