I have downloaded one of Lenny's free templates, made some mods using html kit and then uploaded it but it doesn't look the same. The picture in the header does not appear and also everything is one under the other not laid out as in the template.

Just out of curiosity I uploaded the original template and it is exactly the same layout as my modded version. What did I do wrong?

This is the first time I have ever attempted anything like this so please keep it simple for me huh.gif

Many thanks for your help

The original page can be viewed at dziekuje.zzl.org but it looks perfect in html kit!

Thank you

PS apologies for block letters but hopefully easier to see breaks.

I have found out what your issue is.

You have forgot to upload the stylesheet. You need to upload the "style.css" file into a directory called "lib" . This will fix the issue and apply styles to your site.

This will fix your issue.

Edit: Sorry, got bored an decided to fix your issue for you. I used your modded code as the index. You page at: http://dziekuje.zzl.org/ is now working as it should.
( a new password has also been emailed to you )

Many many thanks for your help NaRzY, It certainly looks much better. I will try to find out how to include the owl picture which is part of it later. Should I have included this pic in the .css file too?

Will await new password

first create a directory named images in the root folder and add your image then link to it using code like

CODE
<img src"http://dziekuje.zzl.org/images/myimage.jpg" alt="" />

Thank you lawny as well for your advice - I will try later. For anybody who is very new like me it may be worth having a look at this site. It seems fairly slow and step by step in explaining html - will try css later!

Thank you both NaRzY and lawny I have now got my website looking like I want it to for the moment.

I also found this page helpful explaining a little more about getting the picture in and resizing it
