local wordpress blog issues

You’ve set the “WordPress Address” and “Site Address” at wp-admin -> Settings -> General to localhost. localhost means “this computer”. That setting will work if you view the site on the same machine that the server runs on. If you view the site on any other machine the browser will look for files on “this computer”– the computer the browser is on– and of course won’t find them.

You need to give your server a local static address– usually something like 192.168.1.10— and use that instead of localhost in the settings. That will work for any computer on your local network.
