Pictures on your website?

[keatonjohnson]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to get pictures on my site. The pictures in my first page are currently stored on my machine, and in the HTML code it shows the path to these photos in my machine. How do I get these photos on the site? Do I have to upload them to my server?

 

Thanks again,

keatonjohnson

Yes, you need to upload them to your server, and then update the SRC of the image to point to the image on the server, rather than the local image on your computer.

In other words, don't use a url for the images which begins C:\

 

A simple code like works if the image is in the same folder on your PC and is uploaded to the same directory as the html file on the server.

 

You can use an absolute url like instead which should work locally on your PC and online but involves the server in more work.

So if I make a folder in my documents called "gallery" and then make a "gallery folder on my server, I can just enter the image.jpg?

For example, say you have your index.html file, and a folder filled with images named "gallery.

 

-- index.html

-- gallery (folder)

-- images

-- image

 

to link to those images from the index file, you would use src="gallery/image.jpg"
