Hi Linda,

By default FrontPage creates "relative" links. To take advantage of that,
organize your files, even on your own computer. Make a folder for your
website. Put your "graphics" or "images" folder inside the website folder. If
you have other folders needed, make them and put them inside the website
folder. This keeps them all close together and facilitates the "relative" link.

Imagine this structure:

MyWebSite (folder)
MyFamily (folder)
MyPictures (folder)
MyFriends (folder)

There are three folders inside the MyWebSit folder. All the images and graphics
are stored in the MyPictures folder. A page inside the MyFamily folder uses as
its background the photo "my_background.jpg" that is in the MyPictures folder.
The link will look like this
:
<.body background="../MyPictures/my_background.jpg"> (without the leading dot,
of course)

The code "../MyPictures" says "look up one directory from me and find the
directory MyPictures." This is a "relative" link - the directions to the folder
holding the photo are "relative" to the location of the page containing the
link.

I hope this is useful to you.

Tina
