Everything on my site works except my images. Is there anything special I need to keep in mind when putting them online?

you need them to be in the same folder structure with that in which u created the from ..
meaning ... if you have '../pictures/logo.png' in an img html tag in your page code ... then you'll need to be creating a 'pictures' folder and inside that your 'logo.png' image file for the html to display it .. otherwise it will not be possible for it to find it ...

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you saying, I'll have to name the folder when uploading it with the info to where I'm keeping my image?

Yes exactly ...
Example...
Note: ../MyNewWebpage/ is the directory that contains the files that need to be uploaded

you want to put an image in your page ...
You go into a directory like ../MyNewWebpage/pictures
Then you select the image 'logo.png' from that folder and you place it on the page..
When you export the html you have been creating then that file doesnt not contain the actual image file but a link to it ...

So you need to find out where that link is pointing..
If there is no image where the html code is looking for one,.. then it wouldnt be able to display it ..
So it is better to keep the directory structure you have in your hard disk identical on hte server...

there are programms available on the internet that manage this kind of uploading on a server ... althought I have never used any I hear they can be some relief to this kind of practical problems ...

Okay-- one question.. Do you need to export every each picture and upload everything separately, or can you export and upload one whole site with more images and text at the same time? It's actually kind of important for me to know in order to do this right. Thanks!

mm, so in Dynamic HTML Editor it renames all my images to "indexpicture2", "indexpicture3" etc, etc.. when really before that I called it something differently. Should I call my folder the same as BEFORE Dynamic HTML Editor renamed it, or as it's called in Dynamic HTML Editor??

Dynamic HTML Editor automatically manages pictures for you so you can insert every type of picture you want in the page and the editor make the rest.

By default all pictures are renamed automatically but you can force Dynamic HTML Editor to use a certain name by filling the property "Export Name".

This may be a little too much to ask for but.. do you have an example-page of pictures where the name and everything is right?
