I have added some pictures on my photo gallery page which i made using front page. Of course i saved the page as htm extension and kept the pictures as JPG format. When i upload the pictures in geocities, everything goes successfully; however, when i check the page in the browser the pictures don't appear ..Any idea of what might be the problem ?

well, if it was possible the provide the link here, maybe that would assist us in helping you.

Though, from the sound if it. It seems that the link on the page for the picture is not correct.

Are the links on the page, exactly as its given for the pictures online?

if yes, then probably you need to refresh couple of times and the pictures will showup. If not then its most likely the link. Edit the html page and check them.

If you arent too aware of html, just share with us the site link and we can see the source and point to you what is required to be changed.

Thanks for the help ! Well i have checked the html and it seems to be there is nothing wrong. The weird thing is some of the pictures appear wile the other don't. .. Anyways this is the link so plz check it out and tell me if u have any suggestions link (http://www.geocities.com/m_allawati84/photogallery)

I checked the link and it seems to me that those files you are linking to do not exist.
The last picture target does work but the small image you created doesn't show up.

My suggestion to you is to check the spelling of the file names used in there.

It is always better to use small letters for the file names so when you link to them you don't get confused.

I put all the pictures names in small letters and upload them but i still encounter the same problem ..Is there any other suggestion ?

I used to have that same problem with geocities. i used to go and open the image link and other times do refresh on the page.

Cant think of any other solution at the moment.

All the target images work fine with me and I had no problems viewing them, though I cant see the thumbnails, probebly the uploading process didnt finish successfully.

Try uploading them again or maybe upload them on another server/host, and lets see how it goes

thanks. The target pictures work for me too. I'll re upload the picture on another host and i will see how it goes ..oh by the way , is there any recommened web hosting service either than geocities, a one which is free and easy to use ..thx

I'd host you but my sites currently down, should be up within a few days. www.creativeblend.net, unlimited space/bw. Although another really good site is www.graffiti.net Free 100MB Space and not sure how much bw but it'd be a lot. What you need dear chap is FTP Access. Graffiti doesnt give it but I do. FTP stands for file transfer protocol. Its basically accessing a hard drive on another computer over the internet. The computer you access is the server, a very fast system that has your site stored on it.

If you download an ftp program like Filezilla (best imo - http://filezila.sourceforge.net). The basic outline of web hosting goes thus. There is the root folder, this is where all the account information is stored. Another folder in the root folder is called public_html. This is where the public can access your files, you can password protect the directories in it but this is off by default.

If you upload a file to here (say your website is www.hero.com and you upload the picture funny.jpg to the public_html directory then the piece of code used to put that image in a webpage would be

<xmp><img src="http://www.hero.com/funny.jpg"></xmp>

HTML is really easy and you can find many tutors on the internet, a popular one is www.pagetutor.com. If you keep checking www.creativeblend.net over the next few days, when it comes online you can fill out the free hosting form and i'll make you an account.
