The images also need to be uploaded to the server.  Make sure that the src attrib of the image tag also points to the proper place that the image resides.  You should also use an editor that uses a more standard code output.  Try NVu at

You might also try MS FrontPage.  It is very easy to use, and most hosting providers allow you to upload using FrontPage so it is as easy as clicking publish once done designing.

Or Net Fusion (or is it New Objects - I forget) which some hosting companies provide by way of freeware to those using their services.

There are also a number of "free" packages usually available on the front of the mags - although these may not quite give you the look and/or flexibility you are looking for.

I started off with one of these (about 3 years ago) and quickly determined that I wanted more control and so bought Dreamweaver and a book and sat in a room playing until I got to where I wanted to be.

A lot, and I really do mean a lot, of hot air is perpetuated on the topic of web design - much of which serves to intimidate people and drive them away or into the arms of a web design service.  At the basic level there is really no need for this - if you are prepared to invest a little time and effort - and it is USUALLY very rewarding.

What you have to be prepared for, however, is the ratio of visitors:emails - don't expect to have to set time aside to reply to all those emails from all round the world.  Then again the surprise email from darkest Peru comes as a very pleasant surprise - its just that most of your visitors will not make their presence felt.

No problem.    Have fun.  It generates code that adheres to the standards the w3c set for html and other development technologies. 

Frontpage will generate very very poor code often with proprietary elements that are not supported in most browsers other than I.E.

Oops - replies posted on the other thread.

Pleased to help (templates / design / suggestions) but perhaps I wont be able to add any more value that Krayon's suggestion which is already on the table.

Negeltu, I agree to a degree.  I do agree that a kickin' site can be a bear to design and build (just look at how many redesigns this one has gone through...I think we're on V4), but on the other hand the majority of people that want a basic site can get away with WYSIWYG editors and playing with it in their spare time.  Most people don't need fancy, but I agree that the fancier the site, the more visitors and more sales are made.  We humans like the packaging almost as much as the product usually. 

Philip, to answer your question, sure I'll still lend a hand.  Rev would be a good one to ask too as it wasn't too long ago that he embarked on the same journey and can help with some pointers on how he started his.  My recommendation then was:

1) find out if your ISP (internet service provider) gives you any amount of webspace with your account - if they do, use it first, it's free.
2) where ever you host with, they more than likely have a web builder app with basic templates, these will do what you're looking to do just fine.
3) worst case scenario, check out free hosting with places like freewebspace.com...to start out they are free, but there is a small ad at the top of your pages.

Once you get the answers to those questions, we can get into the nitty gritty like domain names and such.

Folks on 3 sites gave me the same advice, start with your IP.  Mine walked me through the process.  The only hard part was waiting for the pictures to load into their gallery.  Seems like it moves through cold molasses.  Anyway, use what you are already paying for.  Later you can move it to a site you pay for (Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or for example) and forward to what you have created on you IP's site. 

Phil, call me with questions.
