    i am very new to this make your own website stuff, (i just started this afternoon!!!). So here's my story: I created a "coming soon" page in Word with a small pic at the top. I saved it as an .htm. I used my FTP client to upload it to the server, and I can go to the page, read the words I have, but I can't see the picture. So then I put the image in the images folder, and in the Parent directory just to test, and i still cant see the pic. Can anyone help me please?

    If you haven't yet, you might not have RECHANGED the directory of the image...

    You need to make sure the HTML is right to link to the image.

    For example, if your picture is in the /images/ folder and called image.jpg the necessary HTML code to show this would be:

    Code:
    [img]images/image.jpg[/img]

    Very easy, just need some practice and HTML knowledge ;)

    1) Create a new folder in your Parent Directory named images

    2) Upload your image to the images folder. I will use the image name of test.gif as an example.

    3) Open your .html page and add
    Code:
    [img]images/test.gif[/img]
    where ever you want the image to show up.
    If you want it below the text, add that code below the text and vice versa for above :)

    Hope that helps.

    don't use MS word(or powerpoint). word is horrible for webpages, it's very inneficient and hard for others to change. use notepad or a 3rd party HTML editor and USE HTML
