Can't get images to upload

    Hi guys,

    I uploaded a web page to my ftp file manager, but my header won't show up. I created a folder labeled "images" and tried to upload the image to that, but when I click on the image I want to upload, it says "Validating File Selection," and it won't go past that point.

    I am using the FTP on GoDaddy's hosting. Can anyone help me out?

    Try using FireFTP. It is a Firefox plugin and works quite nice.

    OP try downloading and installing FileZilla. It's a great FTP client, which I've been using for as long as I can remember. Here is the download page, freeware of course:
    http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
    Code (markup):
    I guarantee /*if the server you are uploading to is properly configured*/ you won't have any problems uploading your files.

    P.S. Here is a quick guide to FileZilla:

    Now my problem is that my header still won't show up. My directory has a folder called "html." In that folder is where all my other stuff is. I created a folder in "html" called "images." I added my JPEG of the header into that folder. What do I do now?

    permissions? try to put 777 on that folder, double check image url (if it's "images/1.jpg" - try to change it to full path "http://mysite.com/images/1.jpg"
    make folder in the same directory where your index file is (normally "www" "htdocs" "public_html"...)

    not enough info, can you post a screenshot of what you get

    Hey Brinkmedia, your suggestion worked perfectly. Thanks.

    And Thanks everybody else for the help as well.

    I do need help with another problem. How do I create other pages. Like how would I make a blog for my site that works when I type in http://www.mysite.com/blog?

    Simplest solution: you just make a folder on your server called blog and upload wordpress there. The WP main site has a great 5min tutorial about this process.

    Yes so I made a folder called "blog" but when I type http://www.mysite.com/blog it does not show up. I mean there is nothing on the page, but shouldn't it at least have something come up. Would installing the Wordpress theme make it show up?
