Thanks for the response. I saw the "1 hour response" thing and got antsy. Yes, the template is appearing to load ok... however, upon further investigation. I'm seeing that it's not just the pictures that aren't showing up. So I'm guessing something is askew somewhere. If you look at what twenty-sixteen wordpress theme should look like, it looks like I'm also missing the sample menu across the top along with the theme sample pictures. This is also happening with other themes. Just to be sure it wasn't just me, I also checked the my website from a different computer and a different browser. So in summary:
-- http://ceruleangiraffe.com is using the Wordpress Twenty Sixteen theme. This is what the theme should look like: https://wordpress.org/themes/twentysixteen/
-- http://ceruleangiraffe.com/wp/ is using a theme called Tempera. Here is what that theme should look like: https://wordpress.org/themes/tempera/ (and to be sure of things, when I installed this theme in the past, the pictures and menus all showed up just as they are in the theme preview).

Any ideas? Thanks!!
