organizing site folders 1

[bch33]

I am having trouble creating my links from page to page once my site is built. The page I link to comes up but any of the images involved (which are alot on each page because I design everything in PHOTOSHOP) anyway, none of those images show up.
Let me explain how I set up my files.
Before I defined my site I set up my root folder on my desktop. Within that folder I set up a general images folder in the root folder and later saved my index.html page in the root folder. I then created about seven other seperate folders and later saved each html page I created within the site, in those seperate folders. Each of these folders also has an image folder within it that contains the images privy to that particular html page. All of these folders are within the root folder.

While building the site, everything worked great. Until I started trying to link the different buttons on my pages back to other html pages. Well, they took me to the html page but there are never any pictures. I messed around with the html a little but nothing seems to work. I believe all the paths for the img src is correct.
Is the architecture of my file system within my site design the problem? Should I have added my different files from within the site rather than on my desktop before even building the site, or does that matter? Also when I try to view a map of my site, it just shows my index.html and no sub folders.

I hope my questions make sense.

In the past I have always avoided any sub folders except one for all images so that this kind of thing wouldn't happen. But now that I am building bigger sites, I want to learn how to do this sub folder thing correctly.

I would greatly appreciate any help at all
Thank you

IN the pages where images aren't appearing, insert a new image right beside one that's not appearing. Make sure its in the sames folder as the iamge you can't find.

Click on the image to mark it

Click on the image and got to the code(<>) this button.

The marked area in the code will show the path to your iamge. checkt he path to the iamge that isn't showing.

I reckon there will be a few extra../s or something like that. Change the different bits of the path so they are the same as the picture that is now working.

Tip?

Make a root folder
Create your site
Add your subfolders.
Create your different pages, add the images as you go

If you move pages around outside of dreamweaver, the path to images won't be changed and they won't be found.

If I've missed the point, maybe consider posting your site somewhere so it can be seen.
