Starving artist still needs web design help. How do I get from Note Pad to seein my pictures?

On Note Pad I coded the following: an image:%26lt;img src=%26quot;C:My Documents\My Pictures\Kodak Pictures\2007-12-21\Eddie and Mary.jpg.%26quot; I saved this to a folder I named: mypage2.html. When I opened this page I got: an image( the actual phrase %26quot;an image%26quot;) followed by two small boxes with an %26quot;X%26quot; inside the smaller. My drawing of %26quot;Eddie and Mary%26quot; is in a folder by that name. The coding is the path to it on my computer. Do I have to have an actual active web site before I see my drawing? If so, how do I control the placement of the picture on the %26quot;under construction%26quot; web site? Of course I have more pictures as you can see from the coding. I have looked at the site for html-kit and have hesitated to download it for the present. Will this or something like it be absolutely necessary? I want to thank especially Zombie and TavistarV for their input.

You have to use a header and a body, try this:

%26lt;html%26gt;%26lt;header%26gt;%26lt;/header%26gt;%26lt;body%26gt;

%26lt;img src=%26quot;filename goes here%26quot; /%26gt;

%26lt;/body%26gt;%26lt;/html%26gt;

Also if you%26#039;re using Notepad then make sure that when you go to save it you select %26quot;All Files%26quot; from the %26quot;Save as type%26quot; list. If you don%26#039;t do this and you haven%26#039;t set your computer to always show file extensions then it will save it as %26quot;mypage2.html.txt%26quot;, but you won%26#039;t see the .txt extension.

Also you%26#039;ve forgotten to put a \ in between %26quot;C:%26quot; and %26quot;My Documents%26quot;.

change

%26lt;img src=%26quot;C:My Documents\My Pictures\Kodak Pictures\2007-12-21\Eddie and Mary.jpg.%26quot;

to

%26lt;img src=file:///C:My Documents\My Pictures\Kodak Pictures\2007-12-21\Eddie and Mary.jpg.%26quot;%26gt;

and you should be able to see the html page on your own computer.

hope this helps.
