It means your page is looking in the wrong location for images.
Show us the page.

First did you upload the images to the server when you uploaded the page?

For the paths if the images are in the same folder as the page your image code might look something like:

<img src="imageName.jpg" alt="" />

If you out all the images in an images subfolder it might look like:

<img src="images/imageName.jpg" alt="" />

What you see in the src="" is the path to the image file. Does that make sense?

How did you create the page? Did you use software or did you code the page by hand in a text editor?

You'll need to change the code in the file you created and upload the new file to the server. If you used software there will probably be a place to specify the path to the image when you have the image selected. If you use a text editor to make the change just look for the code beginning with <img.. and change the value in the src="" to match the correct path.

If the page is online can you post the link? It will make it easier to help if changing the path doesn't work.

If you right click on where the image is supposed to be and select "copy image location" or soemthing similar it will tell you where it is looking for the images.

Then you have to put your images in the correct place so it can find them.

So if it's looking at www.domain.com/images/folder/image.jpg you need too drop your images in public_html/images/folder/ on the server

I just looked at the page and it looks like the code is looking for the images in a folder called index_files. Your image paths tyically look like:
src="index_files/image2891.gif"

So what that means is when the page is looking for image2891.gif it first looks for the folder index_files that should be inside the same folder as the page, and then if it finds that folder it looks inside for image2891.gif

The problem though is I don't think there's an index_files subfolder on the site and thus no images there to find. The easiest thing to do will be to create that index_files folder. You'll want to create it in the same place where you have the page so it will be a sub folder of the folder that contains your page.

Then you need to upload the images to that index_files folder or if the images are already on the server just move them into the folder.

Glad we could help and I do see all the images now. No need to feel embarrassed though. We all started somewhere. You should see the first couple of sites I created. Fortunately for me they're not online at all and only exist on an old laptop.
