Hi Donna,

I'm not sure whether I understand all of your message. Anyway, here's
what comes to my mind:

Most if not all problems with pictures not showing up at/from your
site are related to a wrong path. I myself haven't seen this too
often, because by now I've learned to precisely replicate the folder
*structure* from my PC to the web and also the naming of subfolders.
Some FTP clients make this easier to accomplish than others though.

1.
If you have a folder on your PC holding all your main/secondary html
files like
C:/mybasedir/mywebsite

and also maybe another folder holding your pictures like
C:/mybasedir/mywebsite/images

you just have to put your pictures into that very images-subfolder at
your website too, regardless of how the //mybasedir/mywebsite path on
the web is being named.

Normally this can be achieved by copying all the files plus the
subfolders from C:/mybasedir/mywebsite to your website-directory. I
there is no subfolder for images, then simply upload all the files.

2.
If the path-structure is right, then you might have a problem with
referencing your pictures in the "href=...." part of your HTML-code.
Make sure that the references are relative, like in
../images/mypicture.jpg or mypicture.jpg (if the picture is in your
main website-directory). If they are absolute they'll contain the
foldernames from your PC and there's no way that your pictures will be
found on the web.

Let us know how you're getting along

Regards

Tilman
