I think FSD has the answer - in a simple webpage put your html file and pictures in the one folder.
I made a small family photo album using FrontPage express as follows:
[list=1][*]Create a folder on your PC - lets call it "photos"[*]Copy pictures to that folder[*]Create an empty index.htm file and save it to your photos folder. (This makes FP Express create links that default to the folder where both the index file and the images are stored.)
Add your pictures and text (you appear to know how to do that), and save to the "photos" folder.[*]Test locally by double-clicking on the index.htm file. Your browser should open and display your web page and pics. If not, investigate!!
[*]Once the page is working properly with the local test, upload the
contents of the photos folder (ie, the index.htm file and all the pics, but not the folder itself) to your public_html folder on your web site,
OR[*]Upload the whole photos folder (not just the contents) so that in the public_html folder on your website there is a subfolder called photos containing your pics and the index file you just created. IMO, this is the preferred method - it allows for future orderly expansion of your website.
If you do this, you will have to create another index.htm file for your public_html folder with a link in it pointing to your photos folder because when people go to your website at, say "www.isp.co.uk/~roach" that automatically loads the index file in your public_html directory on your website. If that index file has a link pointing to photos - eg "www.isp.co.uk/~roach/photos" - then the index file in the photos sub directory will be loaded.
This gives you a means to navigate around folders by writing links into the index and other pages on your site.[/list=1]
Clear as mud??
PM me if you want, and I'll send you a URL to part of my on-line photo album and the page that makes it work.
