Graphics in Frontpage – Noobie how to question

I want to put quite a few graphics in my frontpage.

Do you have to load the graphics for a database which comes with your hosting company or only place a link to the graphics into your HTML

Many thanks

Surely someone knows the way to add graphics into a webpage….

You must first save the picture for a computer. Then:
Place > Picture > From File
Then find your report.

You really need to upload the graphics for a web space, a similar place where your own html pages usually are stored. You should store graphics/iamges in the seperate sub directories.

IN THE HTML
< img src=" yourImageFolder/graphic. gif" />

You change the path according to exactly where and what you will have saved it as.

As Trico says you’ll want to get your head surrounding the whole way online is structured… your own c: \ drive isn’t gonna be accessible to folks over the internet; even if you’re hosting your site (and as you said " internet hosting company" I assume you’re not) the d: \ syntax will make reference to their drives every time they visit your web-site not yours, so it’s never gonna work!

So, yes, your images need to be on your host’s node… and then everyone link either comparable (. /images/filename) or most critical (/images/filename) from every one of your pages. I quite prefer absolute positioning since it helps you move pages close to (ie. restructure your own site) without altering the code.

Many thanks everyone. I’ve sussed it.
