    post the URL may help us determine what are you doing wrong.

    Being noob there are 2 usual errors;

    file names are caSEsensitive

    <img src="MyImage.gif"> is not the same as <img src="myimage.gif"> in the html code nor when you upload MyImage.gif as myimage.gif

    the second common error occurs when your editor leave in your page absolute paths like:

    <img src="c:\my documents\my images\myimage.gif"> intead of
    <img src="myimage.gif"> or the name of the online directoriy, i.e.
    <img src="images/myimage.gif">

    If you want, you can visit W3schools. They provide FREE full web building tutorials.

    Do provde your URL, if images are not working then you have simply not uploaded them to the right place.

    Other than w3schools.com, i had my start at htmlgoodies.com. u might want to check that out.

    not sure what you're problem is. if it's images not loading then like someone else have said, it's probably case/format mistakes.

    if it's not loading at all then have you saved it as home.html, index.html, or main.html? most hosts requires that to load your front page.

    Make sure you have correct path where you upload the files in FTP. eg. path/to/imagename.gif

    Don't use your offline path. Offline path means you use images on your operating system to view in webpage, which is likely you cannot view it on internet, seeing red cross images.

    Like someone said you need to provide your img url or site link then we can help you.

    While the great tutorials/manuals and general references are also located at:

    www.htmlite.com
    Code (markup):
    and:

    www.htmlhelp.com
    Code (markup):
    ... and various other sites too, however, for these two sites linked above, I am particularly sure that they are good (for a beginner) and quite straight-forward.

    The home page must be named as index.html.
