<!-- Non Secure URL -->
{{config path="web/unsecure/base_url"}}

<!-- Secure URL -->

Get Skin URL in .phtml File – Magento

// Non Secure URL echo $this->getSkinUrl(''); // Secure URL echo $this->getSkinUrl('', array('_secure'=>true)); // If you want something added behind the URL echo $this->getSkinUrl('image.jpg');
// Non Secure URL
echo $this->getSkinUrl('');

// Secure URL
