Sorry, this is completely OT here but people are so helpful and
someone is sure to know.

I am trying to get a webpage onto tiscali.fr and I can't find
anything in the help pages in french about how to include the
photos. I got the pages online easily using the tiscali website and
without all the hassle I have had in the past with FTP. The links in
the pages currently point to the photos location on my hard drive. I
thought the pictures might be embedded in the pages (made with Front
Page) but it seems they are not. I can't seem to get into the right
bit of the tiscali.co.uk site to search in English. I can easily
edit the links if I know how and where to upload the photos - anyone
know please.

Since this is OT reply by email if you prefer:

holly1THEATSYMBOLtiscali.fr

TIA
Holly

When you send a web page with pictures to Tiscali (or any webspace) you have
to send all the picture files (probably .jpg files) to the same place as you
send your html code. You have to make sure that the references in your html
code to the picture files are *relative* rather than *absolute*. There
should be a box to tick for relative references in whatever software
(frontpage or whatever) you are using to build the site. It's safest to
check the actual html code - where you should have something like:

img src="Picture1.JPG" alt="This is the first picture" width="256"
height="192"

but *not* like this:

img src="http://www.some_url/Picture1.JPG" alt="This is the first picture"
width="256" height="192"

and *not* like this:

img src="File:///C:/My Documents/Picture1.JPG" alt="This is the first
picture" width="256" height="192"

Does this make sense? As long as you use relative references, you can move
your site around easily, and the components will continue to hang together.
