//My Web page is up, but my pictures aren't showing!//
There are many different reasons why this might happen. Go through this checklist until one of them works and your pictures show:

For this example, imagine Mahildabob has a Web page named index.html and a photo of herself that she wants to have on the Web page. The filename of the photo is mahildaphoto.jpg. They are in a folder called mymagnificentwebquest

Check the following:


 * 1) Look in your webquest folder in your public.www folder on your h: drive. Is the file mahildaphoto.jpg in the folder? If not, upload it.
 * 2) In your "finder" on a Mac (or "My Computer" on a Windows machine), navigate to your mymagnificentwebquest folder. Open that folder. Are both index.html and mahildaphoto.jpg in that folder? Double click on index.html--are you sure it's the same one you've uploaded to the public.www folder? If not, make sure that you have a mahildaphoto.jpg and the correct version of index.html inside the mymagnificentwebquest folder on your computer. Then re-upload those files to the mymagnificentwebquest folder on your H: drive.
 * 3) Open your index.html page in Nvu. Double click the photo.
 * 4) In the window that shows up, is the checkbox next to "URL is relative to page location" checked? If not, click the checkbox if possible.
 * 5) In the window that shows up, underneath the words "Image Location" does it start with file:///? If so, click on "choose file" again and find the picture. Make sure you are choosing the picture from the same folder that has index.html in it. If you have to switch to another folder, things are very likely to go awry. Under the words "Image Location" it should now just say mahildaphoto.jpg and you should see a thumbnail of the photo in the window.

Once you have fixed one of the options above, save your newest version of your index.html file on your computer, then go to your H:drive and rename your old version of index.html to be indexold.html. Then upload the new version of index.html.

Now open a browser and click on "open file". Navigate to your index.html file in your mymagnificentwebquest folder. Does the picture show up? (Do NOT double click on the index file as you look at it in your H: drive -- it doesn't work like that.) If yes, now upload the new index.html file to your H: drive. If not, go see Dr. Theresa in person and bring your laptop if you have one.
