hi, after designing ur site, did u try it on your local machine to see that the images appeared,
are u sure ur path to the image is complete, like a href='image/pix.jpg'

I'm tired of yelling here about how much I hate these "webdesign" software packages.

Let me try to explain what's happening. Am image is inserted into HTML using the <img> tag. Here's how:
<img src="path to image" alt="yada yada" />

"src" means source and that is where you put the source to your image.
"alt" is used to specify an alternative text that will show incase that image has been kidnapped by . . .

the "src" will receive to types of paths. Absolute paths and relative paths.
Absolute paths are full paths to an object starting right down from "http://......"
Relative paths are paths to the object in relation to the scripts location.

Case Study:
I have a photo of me and i name it fine_boy.jpg and want to display it on my site for afrobaby to see and trip cool

Your root folder on your website is named "public_html" or "www" in most cases.
So if I create a folder under the root folder called "images" and copy my fine_boy.jpg file to it, the absolute link to the photo is http://www.yoursite.com/images/fine_boy.jpg.
The relative link to the photo (assuming my html document is in the root my my site) will be images/fine_boy.jpg

So to put this in html it will be
<img src = "images/fine_boy.jpg" alt ="Fine boy" />
or
<img src = "http://www.yoursite.com/images/fine_boy.jpg" alt="Fine boy" />


Why all this explanation?
Its possible while you were working with dreamweaver your were inserting all images and Dreamweaver was doing so for you using absolute links.
To know if this is the case, check your codes and you will see the "src" of some <img> tags having things like "C:\documents and settings\web design\images\example.jpg".
So correct all those paths and you are good to go.

I hope this wasnt confusing. Dreamweaver sucks.

Hi, i think the challenge u had wud av bn sorted if u ad tested the designed site locally. All ur image and other médìa items are suposed to be in a folder from where u call them to ur webpage by that u wudnt av any problem specifying paths. U then uplòád evrytin inclúding that folder to the public folder on the hosting site. Evrytin we apèar just as u av designed it. Av done it before
