Answer 3

To solve the missing (blank CSS) and image issue, you need to install the Static Content Role.

1. Start -> Administrative Tools -> Server Manager
2. Select Web Server under Roles

4. Install it

Your static content will now be served.

If you need to add specific MIME types then you can use the newly installed MIME Types feature. The new Role will not be shown until you restart IIS Manager.
