Okay, so heres the thing, I'm making a website in Frontpage. I for one, can't find a good free web hosting site. But I tried one (Bravenet) but when I uploaded my page and all, the background, and images didn't show. I also use Word Art and that doesn't appear either.
I'm about to throw my computer out the window. Can anyone help me with this?
 
Ok, well you said you couldn't find a good free web host. Pretty much the only thing that makes an image tag not work is the path being wrong.
 
well see thats the thing...I always have the same problem with front page...I can never get my images to work on a website...should I upload the pictures to the site to see if that will help?
 
Yes, you have to upload the pictures there, use image shack or some other hosting to get them on the web.
 
Okay, let me try working on this...thanks for the help, I'll post again if I have more problems.

P.S. Sorry for being rude, wasn't my place.
 
OMG! Thats it! Computer is SO going out the window! I hate this stupid front page crap! It won't work with HALF OR MOST of the web hosting sites, and then when I try AngelFire I need some stupid Add folders wizards crap, and I don't even have that! I don't even know what the heck that is!!!! GRRRR!!! When did making a website get so freaking hard??????? I was 8 and could do this crap with NO problem. Now I'm 18 and can't get any of it to work!!!!!
 
1. Your inability to comprehend the site isn't worth throwing your computer out.

2. Frontpage works in a very different manner. It may code differently in that the website you host must have frontpage support. However, this isn't often that you run into it.

3. Now, when you upload them to the site; your index or main page should be hyperlinked in a way that everything points to your desktop folders and files. As an example, it would point to "c:\..\.....\My Documents\picture.jpg" You DO NOT want this. So, when you upload them, make sure you upload all your sites and pictures into the same folder and not in different folders. Then, delete the whole path before you upload your site so that it points to "picture.jpg" only. So, your url to that image should be

Code: 
<IMG src="picture.jpg">
 
Here dude you can view the sorce of my page same site and everything and you see that everything works fine and all my pic are located on the site. http://giffytechman.bravehost.com you just need to chill dude and relax I'm sure it will come to you.

Ok, through it out the window, doesn't hurt us any. Good luck getting threw life with that kind of patience.

Something tells me you have all your images in the wrong directory. Place all your images on the website in your root folder. Then instead of having all your images in a directory called "C:/Documents and Settings/(XXX)/My Documents"(for example)" have them linked in the root folder.
 
Okay, for one, the throwing my computer out the window was a metaphor. Wasn't actually going to do that...Not allowed. And I just don't know what I'm doing wrong...I can't seem to get things to work...so tomorrow I'm going to spend all day if I have to working it out.

Yea If your pictures work when you test the page on your computer or what ever then all you have to do is upload everything to the same place and it should work.
 
You should also be able to dump all the images in the root directory on angelfire and just make sure your img src tags are set properly (see computerhakk's code box for what it will look like, just put in the right name)

It might, what if you happened to be walking by and got smoked by a flying PC? But usually when someone says they are going to toss their computer out the window it's just an expression of how frusturated they are.

Don't worry about it :)
 
Okay, well apparently I can't use freewebs to put my HTML code on it...stupid site. So now I DO need just ONE site that I can use for free that I can put my own HTML coding on it. I can't find anything anywhere...maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, or maybe I'm just frustrated and can't think right.
 
You should be able to host anywhere unless you are using frontpage extensions then you need a host that supports them. I don't know if the free hosts I linked before support them or not but MxHost does.
