Yes -- you have to put the image files on line before you can link to them
<G>

Your first image link is to "WC_TOC_files/image003.jpg". There is no
image003.jpg in this subdirectory, and the subdirectory is NOT named
*WC_TOC_files* -- it is named *wc_toc_files* (all small case letters). So,
either rename the directory, or change the link; then upload image003.jpg to
the directory.

Your second image link is to "IMG\Flags-1.jpg" There are a couple of things
wrong here. First, you do not have a directory named IMG. Second, if you
create a subdirectory named IMG, you use a forward slash, not a backward one
to separate the directory from the file name. Third -- you have not
uploaded the file named *Flags-1.jpg*, so as far as the browser is
concerned, it doesn't exist. If you upload it to your genealogy directory,
the link will be:
<.img src="Flags-1.jpg"> (without the leading dot)

While I'm picking on you <G>, there are a couple of other things you should
change.

1. Your home page is named *index.html.htm* Rename it *index.html* That
way, it will be delivered when someone calls your URL,
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cleopatre9/

2. You have placed your RW counter code in the HEAD section of your HTML.
It should be somewhere between the opening body tag <.BODY>, and the closing
body tag<./BODY>

Just remember, you can display either GIF or JPG files on web pages -- both
will work. If the image is *broken*, it's because you haven't told the
browser the correct location to find the file.
