You need to upload your pictures and graphics into a folder named "images" inside condoboard.net

Your source-code and the location of your files must match. Please also keep in mind that because you're in a Linux/Apache environment, file-names are case sensitive.

From the looks of things, you don't have an images folder, nor does it look like you uploaded all your images. Try to upload your images into your images folder (create one if you don't have one) and then try to visit your site again.

this may have to do with your html generator. you have link names that refer to the files as they were on your home computer.

file:///C|/Documents and Settings
../../../public_html/

you would never refer to a file here as public_html in your html code

it would be http://yourdomain.com/ or /
or you emit the / like a picture in this folder /home/user/public_html/images/picture.gif

if linking to it from your public_html directory could be src="images/picture.gif"

that saves a lot of time in the future as well if you were to move groups of files into other folders, their linking structure stays the same

i've tried making the folders in various places and nothing. shouldn't the publishing software move the pic automatically? i tried using NVU and dreamweaver and neither is working. this is so frustrating.
