Help me with my website

So I've got this website here which is just a holding page at the moment.

The problem is, on this page here I've got a picture, but it just won't show up unless my computer at home is connected to the internet.

Now why the hell is that?

Also, does anyone know the html code for inserting sound files into a website?

Thanking you in anticipation

Your img tag looks like this:

<img src="file:///C:/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/David%20author.jpg" width="389" height="597">

It's linking to the image on your local C: drive, whereas it should be uploaded to your site. I'd remove the space from the file name as well, if I were you. If, for example, you create a directory called 'images' and upload the file to it, your img tag should look like this:

<img src="/images/Davidauthor.jpg" width="389" height="597">

That should solve the problem.

Never ever ever ever insert sound files into a website. (Unless you are putting a link to music that someone has to click on to get it - in which case you just upload the file and put in a link to it, just like any other link e.g. <a href="my_music_file.mp3">Click to download music</a> )

gotta agree - nothing is cheesier and less professional than a crappy soundtrack on a website - don't do it to yourself saxman...

It might be nice to have a sound file of Sax reading extracts from his mighty work in his own dulcet tones though...

Or a very slow rising rumbling sound, the kind that makes folk think there's somethign wrong with their speakers. A bit Kaufman but entertaining nonetheless.

Thanks for the help.

I meant links to soundfiles, not a soundtrack. Although now you mention it...

Kidding, obviously.
