I&#039;ve tried to create a simple website using Microsoft word as the editor. That went well since it was only one image. Then comes trying to upload it. I have a free acound at Netfirms, and I tried to upload this using the demo of CuteFTP. When I refresh the site, all I see is an outline of my picture with the little red "X" in the corner. Any ideas what I&#039;m doing wrong? I would program the page myself, but my programming skills are limited to two tags: <html> and </html>.
Could some one give me the tags for puting images on the site, text, and how to make a link? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Well it sounds like the image that you uploaded is in a different place to where it should be. Check the path in the HTML.

Anyway, here&#039;s how to code the things you asked for in HTML.

Image: <img src="yourImageName">
Link: <a href="targetPage.html">Text to be visble on screen as a link</a>

And as for text, you can just type straight in to the document.

Hope that helped

thanks for the help man... turns out that that was only one of the things I was doing wrong lol... turns out that netfirms doesn&#039;t support xml, and that&#039;s one of the languages Word uses. Well... now to learn HTML :)
