I am just starting to build my own web-site. For some reason since last night
i uploaded an image with text on it, i am unable to view pictures on my
web-site now. I have show pictures enabled in i.e. and have tried disabling
firewall to no avail

Most often when I encounter a graphics viewing problem, it is because the
coding is incorrect on my html page (it is not citing the correct path to the
graphic.) Check that first.

Also, relative paths on your host can require special coding. Ask tech
support at your provider EXACTLY how graphics source paths should be written.

Dreamweaver seems to write temporary graphics code to your file while you are
in the process of working on it, and then alters it to proper form on the
upload. Make sure you are using Dreamweaver to FTP the files into the ether.

Just a note: Graphics files get corrupted if they are uploaded in ascii mode.
Make sure you are using binary mode for graphics files. DW should handle this
automatically.

Good luck!
