    Hi and thanks in advance for the help! I have downloaded a CSS template. This is it Intercraft Free CSS Template | Free CSS Templates | Free CSS I am using Dreamweaver and Photoshop to edit everything. I made a new image for the logo and footerlogo using the same size, etc as the one in the template. When I insert it and go to view it in the browser, the image does not show. I am not very familiar with CSS so any help would be greatly appreciated.:confused:

    OneChick,

    These are the debugging steps I'd follow:
    1) Check that the original image is displayed when the page is opened in the browser.
    2) Replace the original image with the new image - overwrite it in the file system (after making a copy).
    3) See what the browser now displays.
    4) If nothing's displayed check the image file by trying to display it using something else.

    Let us know how it goes.

    OneChick,

    Try displaying the image file in your web browser by doing File->File Open (or whatever). Double check that this is exactly the same file that your html/css is trying to access.

    Remember the internet is case sensitive, your browser for your file on your computer is not. Maybe you need to check the file name and make sure it is exactly the same as your image. I have this problem a lot. If they are not the same, it won't load.

    Building a website usually requires you to design and then code your own layout, which can be a tedious task if you are artistically inclined or familiar with HTML. Website templates take care of this for you by providing you with a fully designed and coded layout, which you can then use to build your website.
