Is there any easy to follow steps for adding images to a webisite. I have a domain name and a friend did a few pages for me but he is really busy just now and im struggling to get hold of him to add the images i wanted to the site. I dont mind taking on a tutorial for a beginner but just want to get the pics up for now until i can get a proper website designed.
 
Do you have all the ftp info for your domain?
 
Tom, thanks for the reply. As i said a guy i know has been helping out but im now stuck in limbo. What FPT info do i need?

Forgot to mention i just used a cheapo One.com template and transferred my domain name to them and the other guy did most other things by writing in notepad.

Also forgot to mention, i can log on and edit through their editor but it seems to cause problems with script etc ( the other guy told me not to use this to edit anything )

Hmm, If you dont know what you are doing, probably best not to try, as you might screw the whole thing up.

If you just want the images hosted but not to show up, thats easy enough, but if you actually want a page with pictures, then you'll need to create a new Html page (presuming the rest of the site is html and not css) and put them on that.

Can you post the domain link so I can have a gander whats what.
 
Okey doke.
 
1st of all you need to be able to upload the images. Unless you are using a cms such as wordpress then you'll need to ftp them.

Then the basic htnl code is

Code: 
<a href="image-url-goes-here.jpg"><a>
 
Its CSS and he doesnt have FTP access. Its done through a control panel WYSIWYG editor on the host, but apprently adds extra code which screws the Css layout up.
Needs complely redoing IMO.

Click to expand...

That's a link to an image, when the tag is correctly closed.

Inserting an image is:

<img src="image_url" alt="image description" />

hah yeah, was a bit tired! Should really know that as I've only been a developer for about a decade now. :lol:

Thanks for correcting my mistake.
