Newbie question again

I finally purchased the program and I know that these are newbie questions but if the answers were easy to find online or in the help files, I would have found them. Maybe if I did an extensive search I'd find the answers but time isn't on my side right now.

I have another question. How do I insert an image that is already in my image folder online? The image location is online at http://mysite/images/cat.jpg. Right now, I can insert images that are in my computer but I don't know how to insert an image that is online so that after my site is published, it grabs the image from my online image folder.

Also, the text in the drop down menu at the top of my page shows in my preview but it doesn't show online. I'm using a template, personal pink cats, and it contains the menu at the top. I'm customizing it, of course.

Is there a really good websitepainter tutorial site? The manual is short and sweet and it's okay for simple things but in-depth issues aren't easy to find. I'm already going through this tutorial but I need more.

For linking external pages, it is always better to copy them to your local disk and include them in your local project. Hotlinking is usually not liked by most people.
If you still want to do this, create a html code element in websitepainter and paste the following code into there:
<img src="YOURIMAGEHERE" />


And instead of that YOURIMAGEHERE, paste the adress of the image, like for example http://www.ambiera.com/websitepainter/images/websitepainter_boxshot_big.png
This should work then.

The image html insert worked. Thank you.

I still haven't found the solution to this problem though, "Also, the text in the drop down menu at the top of my page shows in my preview but it doesn't show online. I'm using the template, personal pink cats, and it contains the menu at the top. I'm customizing it, of course."

About the text: Difficult to say what the reason for this might be. Are you using some unusual font maybe?

Actually, I keep finding the solutions to my own problems. I didn't realize that I had to upload the script in the wsp_images folder and the text showed up after I did that. I wasn't kidding when I said that I was a newbie with this program but I'm learning quickly. I really like this program. Thanks for your help.
