Problem with Banners and Navigation

Post by Master_Android »

The banner, navigation buttons, and advertisements on my site (liberfelix.comicgenesis.com) refuse to show up. They are named with the correct tags, and loaded into the workspace then into the public folder, and they fail to show up. I already have five comics up (which I read could a be a factor), however that has failed to help.
On an unrelated note, how can I set a default size for my comics to appear as? As anyone going to my site may notice, the updates are extremely large. If not that, perhaps what would be a good size to save them as?

As far as the comic's actual size goes, the easiest thing to do would be to just resize it in your graphics program yourself.

I don't see in your source code anything for a banner or any extra images, but are you sure you named your navigation buttons correctly? I'm not positive, but I think the extention also has to be lowercase; .gif is not the same as .GIF in this case.

I just find this hard.

Also, they appear to be named correctly. I don't know what the problem is.

A good size is something like 570(w)x770(h); that way, someone with a 600x800 resolution (the smallest one) doesn't have to scroll anywhere.

What are the filenames?

Mercury is right, there's no code on your page for any extra images. Are you sure you uploaded the edited version of your new indextemplate into your FTP? If you edited it, but then forgot to upload and just simply closed it and exited your FTP Client, that may be why there are none there.

Also:
They are named with the correct tags, and loaded into the workspace then into the public folder, and they fail to show up.
Are you uploading them into both? You only need to upload them into your public_html/images folder, and then properly reference them in your code:

Code: Select all

<IMG src="/images/image.gif">
As well, there must be some problem with how you'd named your Navigation picture. Make sure they're right, then try reuploading them to your public_html/images folder, and run an update.

Hope that helps.
