Author Trouble with thumbnail photos

I am having a problem with getting my thumbnail photos to enlarge to the full size photo on my website. We are using PictureIt! which is a Microsoft photo software and the photos are saved in the web page/email photo format. Still, when folks click on t
he thumbnail photo, they get an incorrect url and nothing appears. Any suggestions??

Did you import the images (jpg's for photographs I hope) into the images'
folder of your site, before using them on a page?

FP will make a thumbnail for you from the large version of the image.

HI! in FP 2003 you can use the report tab at the bottom to check your links.
click report then hyperlinks. it may ask you if you want it to check for
broken links, just click yes, then take a look at the results.

If you're designing your page with generated photo thumbnails displayed, that's fine. FP will import the thumbnails into some folder of choice when you try to save the page. I'm guessing you set a hyperlink on the displayed thumbnail image to link to th
e folder on your computer where the larger images are. These larger images do not get copied into any internal, FP web folder at all, and subsequently are not published with your page (and thumbnails that it knows the web location for). Try making a fol
der in your web (click the folders icon in the left design screen panel) and manually copy (import) the larger images there. Then make your hyperlinks from the thumbnails to them, and FP will know where they are internally (and they'll get published alon
g with everything else).
