    I am trying to put several albums of pictures onto a specific page within a website. I have uploaded them per your instructions. On the page, I put the title of each album, and then linked each title to their respective albums. However, when I get into my browser and I click on the title, I get only a page of code with no pictures. Am I linking correctly, or am I doing something else wrong?

    It sounds like you're doing everything right. From what you described, this may be a server misconfiguration. (Specifically, if you like geek-talk, the server may be serving your HTML pages with the wrong MIME type). If that's the case, I'd recommend getting in touch your web host's technical support team.

    If you still think you may be doing something wrong, do you have a website address where I can observe this behavior? I can quickly investigate to check for simple errors.

    The website in question is http://www.saskatoonmenschorus.ca. I am trying to upload the photos to the "Photo Gallery" page within that site.

    Hi Lynn,

    Nice to hear from you; I didn't recognize you at first!

    It looks like you've uploaded only one of the album files instead of the entire album, so you can safely ignore the "MIME type" suggestion above.

    To fix the problem, you'll need to upload the generated album folder. (To create this folder, click on "File" then "Generate Web Album" and go through the step-by-step process).

    I've made an animated tutorial to help explain the upload process a little better, if you're interested. It's available from the How to put your albums on the web support topic.

    Good luck! And if you have any other questions, comments, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

    Hi Mark

    I have a number of albums on my Zetnet page on the web site. The one labeled 'Manchester' has one photo missing. When I open it on the desktop it opens OK with the missing photo showing. I have checked ftp and the photo is listed in the file. Any suggestions please?

    Otherwise I am very happy with the way all my other WAG albums work - honest!

    It sounds like this might be an upload glitch (the file may have become corrupted during the FTP upload). If you can identify the filename of the thumbnail that isn't appearing correctly on your website, then re-uploading that single file might do the trick.

    Mark, I was wandering if the next version could be a web application? Ok I know there are many php galleries but none I have seen gives a url for hosting for the users. If you need more on my idea please extract my email from here and I will tell ya my ideas. Thanks
