External image not preserved — inspect source: http://homegrownforums.com/html/emoticons/Copy of unsure.gif ok so I have built a whole new layout for the site. In my freewebs account I deleted all the existing files (thats pages and images etc)..and replaced them with all the new pages and images, (all in the same folder on my pc). When I go on my site the pages work but none of the images do, (and they are all jpeg)...so please....has this happened to anyone before or does anyone know how I can solve it or...even better, would anyone be willing to host our site???...

5 bucks says you have all the images linked to you computer, check and make sure none start with your drive letter.
