I uploaded my files for my home page and the menu files. I checked the chmod of htdocs & index.html...they are ok. I go to my temp site and its still the construction page. I built the page with Openoffice.com and the menus with All Web Menu Pro...I then compiled my files and uploaded them with WS_FTP LE. All seemed to go fine but it didnt work.

re name your main page to index.html

You likely have a main page of index.htm - so the easy thing to do is delete the index.html page that Powweb put out there.

If you rename your page to index.html then you will have to fix links to that page.

You default page will load from index.html index.htm index.php in that order I think.

Nope - just tried to load your page using index.htm. So that is not your problem.

You tell us what you uploaded for your home page, and where you put it.

You should put your pages under the htdocs directory, not at your ftp root.

you need to upload your pics and then edit the <IMG SRC tag and your pics i wouldent have spaces between them so for your pics the IMG SRC tag would look something like this <IMG SRC="pic.jpg BORDER="0">

I have my images uploaded to my image folder and do you mean edit my home page source code?

Cooldude

yes i mean edit your home page source code so since you uploaded the image to your images folder it would look something like this <IMG SRC=" images/pic.jpg BORDER="0">

ok i will give it a try. I will be back on in a couple of hours to let you know how it went. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE BACKGROUND NOT COMING IN? THANKS

well you need to upload the background image and then edit this line <body LANG="en-US" TEXT="#ffff00" LINK="#ff6633" VLINK="#ff0000" BGCOLOR="#ffffff" BACKGROUND="../Documents and Settings/Mike/My Documents/mazes.jpg" DIR="LTR"> and make it something like this <body LANG="en-US" TEXT="#ffff00" LINK="#ff6633" VLINK="#ff0000" BGCOLOR="#ffffff" BACKGROUND="mazes.jpg" DIR="LTR">

This is what the line looks like and it still doesnt work:
<IMG SRC="91200/pic.jpg" NAME="Graphic2" ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=239 HEIGHT=238 BORDER=0> something still messed up? where should my image files be? in the images file or under htdocs?

In that iamge tag you are saying you have a subdirectory named 91200, and in that subdirectory you have an image named pic.jpg.

Is that correct?

I think a good investment would be a book on basic website building / html. You can find many at your local book store.

I think I found it at SRC="images/91200.jpg"

I like your americanflag6.jpg - well done.

I can see them because you told me where to look :)

this is what the line looks like now.
<IMG SRC="images/91200.jpg" NAME="Graphic2" ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=239 HEIGHT=238 BORDER=0>
I updated the files and nothing. What else am I missing? I have the pics uploaded to the images folder.

you dident edit all the lines for the pics if i look at the source then i see <img SRC="./My Pictures/snowy crusher.bmp" NAME="Graphic1" ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=335 HEIGHT=223 BORDER=0><br CLEAR=LEFT> thats for one of the lines that line needs to be <img SRC="images/snowy crusher.jpg" NAME="Graphic1" ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=335 HEIGHT=223 BORDER=0><br CLEAR=LEFT>
