I am still building my site with BlueVoda. When I insert pictures in the working screen they look fine but when I preview the page, the image is gone. Any ideas?

Re: Help with jpegs
Hi ,
I'm new too but I'll see if I can help as I have not had problems with placing jpegs and getting them to stay their. I also recommend the pix resizer..it's free from bluevoda. I usually open my image box ..and load the jpeg from there and then put it where I want it to be..is that what you are doing?
I then save to be sure it stays before previewing. Also don't forget to link your image to the page it's on. Double clicking on the image brings up the image properties box and go to the tab that says link and click the page you want to link to ...e.g. if you want link picture to homepage you would link to http://www.yoursite.com/index.html .
I hope that helps and if you are doing all that and it still isn't working than I hope the voda gods (mostly senior members) look in on you and help with their wisdom.
Good luck -

Re: Help with jpegs
Thanks Beezzz! I linked the jpeg but it still doesn't show up in the preview. I haven't purchased my domain name yet - I'm still trying to build my website during the trial period to see if I like it. Does that have anything to do with it? Does my domain name need to be registered while I'm building the site?
(sorry if I sound stupid - never done anything like this before and really have no idea what I'm doing).Comment

spc-
And no- it should not have anything to do with previewing it. Is the image saved to your hard drive?
Not sure what the problem is. Might want to shut everything down and re-start the computer to see if that re-sets what ever glitch you have.

Re: Help with jpegs
Do I need to do this for every picture and piece of text on the page? I don't want them to go anywhere.....Also, is the homepage always "/index"? Is that how I link the other pages to it or do I just use www.mysite.com/ Other Pages?Originally posted by beegud2
Sorry...Comment

Re: Help with jpegs
spc-
Your home page will be- index
Web servers are designed to serve up the index page when ever someone goes to your site via http://yoursite.com
Other pages would be linked to as follows;
http://yoursite.com/page2, http://yoursite.com/page3 etc.....
You can name your pages what ever you like.
You only need to link a picture (by double clicking on it as beegud2 has described) if you want it to be the avenue by which a visitor to your website is lead (or linked) to another portion of your site or an outside link. For instance; clicking on the back arrow (a gif image) will link you to the previous page.
If you go to my site and click on Family Picture Gallery - you will see an examples of how images are used as links to other pages.
Hope that helps ya.

Re: Help with jpegs
Hi spc,
Hey don't feel 'stupid'...it's all in the learning process...I went through it and I'm still going through it. As a matter of fact I'm still having the same problem with a subdomain and trying to figure it out. As to your question on linking...YES..you do have to link every picture...I guess it' like anchoring it to something. Hey I even goofed the other day and forgot to link mine...as we say in Jamaica...no problem mon. Enjoy the whole process...it's quite fun!!Comment
