Well, that's expected - that's on ImageShack's end, not yours.
[edit]Bogey beat me to it. *wink*[/edit]

So, that means the problem is somewhere in your image path, or related to viewing your site offline. Just to verify, when you put "images/kiplingbaptistchurch2.jpg" in the src="" area, it does not show up?

If that's the case, you may be best off to wait until you can upload the website to your host, and once it's up, put the image in place - i.e. it would read:
Code: [ Select ]
<div id="logo">
<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/kiplingbaptistchurch2.jpg" alt="Church Picture" />
</div>
  1. <div id="logo">
  2. <img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/kiplingbaptistchurch2.jpg" alt="Church Picture" />
  3. </div>

Hmm, I lost my nav bar when I put Bogey's code in.

Best so far was the imageshack list one.

The problem is everything is set up for the folders they are in. I cannot upload to my host in the folders. They all become one big folder so a lot of things stop working.

Like the path for the style sheet gets messed.

Can you create folders from your hosts site, and them upload the files correspondingly?

For example, from your hosts file manager, create a folder called "images," and them upload everything from the "images" folder on your computer into the one on your host?

Ok, you're going to have to do a lot of editing with the CSS to get your images to work right, but fortunately, it's very simple: you need to remove the "../" in the image paths. So:
Code: [ Select ]
background-image:url(../bg.gif);
becomes
Code: [ Select ]
background-image:url(bg.gif);

Again, just remove the "../" from the image paths in the CSS, and your site will look as it does in the screenshot.

I think I got it now. But now all the editing I do will have to be over the net...

I still cannot get my church pic in there.

Try this: upload your church pic to your website - just go ahead and put it in the main directory with the bg.gif image and all the others. Then, in your HTML, replace the words "CHURCH IMG HERE" with the following line of code:
Code: [ Select ]
<img src="kiplingbaptistchurch2.jpg" alt="Church Picture" />
