About Missing Images - part 1
Let's begin by checking all the things that could be wrong. Of course none of these apply to you, but they might apply to the next visitor to this site, so here goes.
 You did remember to copy the image from your hard drive to your web site, didn't you?
Are you absolutely certain that you have the right image name? Myface.jpg is not the same as myface.jpg and neither is the same as myface.JPG. You need that name exactly .... and the full URL completely right. You know, that www.myserver.com/~myname/myface.jpg address.
And you do know that the address and image name are correct because you checked that on-line. How? By entering the full name of your image in your browser's address/location box.
So if the image didn't show up when you tried that, you know what needs doing, right?
Did all that & checked it - now what?
There are three basic possibilities:
When you customized your Bravenet service, you did click on the OK or Save Changes after you had viewed them, didn't you? Maybe the Bravenet database hasn't caught up yet - be patient and try again a little later.
Be sure that you are seeing a true copy of your changed page not one coming from your computer's cache/memory or coming from a proxy server if that's how your Internet service works (like AOL). Make sure you are seeing a 'fresh' version of your page by pressing Reload/Refresh.
Is your image stored on a *free* web service? Some (most) *free* services do not allow remote loading of their images - you can only see them on pages at the host site (so you see the advertising that pays for the *free* service). For more details on the remote loading problem, who does it, why they do it, visit the clik.to/missing site.
You guessed it .... click the missing image on the right. Not only does it tell you why, it also tells you what you can do instead!!
And by the way .... these images are NOT missing, it's just my idea of a joke to include them as a little decoration here.
