Having finally managed to get something showing on my web page, the picture & logo are coming out as a red 'x' can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong! The writing content of the page has come out fine.

Hobo_Jojo

have you uploaded the images? if so..
are they being linked to correctly from the page?

pele

Yes, I have uploaded the images, what do you mean by linked - sorry to sound so thick!
I used web design to do the page & cute ftp to upload it, I also uploade the images seperatlet, they are jpegs.

chiark

make absolutely sure that you've not MiXed Case or anything like that.

If the host uses a proper OS , Test.jpg is a different file to test.jpg...

pele

No, it's all lower case. The designer I used you just drag & drop the images on the page & it writes the code for you

Mr.Cookie

pele whats the addy for it

pele

Promise you won't take the p*** out of it?
here

Mr.Cookie

me take **** you aint seen mrcookie.co.uk

have you upload the pics to the kent scoobies stuff folder

boxst

Hello

I'd remove the spaces in the name of the folder, and as above check the folder and filename are exactly the same in terms of capital letters.

Steve.

I'll have a look....

The pictures are in a folder called "kent scoobies stuff", you can either create a folder with that name using Cute FTP and put the images in there

OR

re insert the images onto the page but make sure the images are in the same folder as the web page on your own PC and not the "kent scooby stuff" folder. Then re-upload the page

YESSS! My first page something so simple.... Had same problem with the text content last night, turned out I should have been calling it 'index.html' nothing in the instructions about that!
Thank you all for helping a damsel in distress!
I may need your help later when I want to do some 'fancy' stuff

Dream Weaver

Good first effort, you may want to size your images properly and optimise them for size.

Your logo is over 100kb, whereas you can reduce it to under 10kb with no loss of quality.

pele

go on then , how do I do that?

pele

DW - are you going to tell me how to do that then? or are you winding me up

Mr.Cookie

pele

he's not winding you up

your version (100k)


my version (16k)

I haven't got photoshop - I use photostudio, should I be able to do it in that?
I can save it in

• pict
• tiff
• eps
• jpeg
• bmp
• photostudio

and the modes I can use:

• bitmap
• grayscale
• indexed (2, 4 or8)
• RGB colour
