For a minute I thought it was groundhog day! ;)

Thanks for your kind words about the site. It's going to take a while to get every page right as we're going away for a few days' break, but I'll get there.

I love you people :)

I've just noticed something interesting! I have a template for my web site which I've just had a look at. All the images are saved with a / .

How did they get changed to \ ? :/

Helen,

I see in your source code these lines:
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name=ProgId content=Word.Document>
<meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word 9">
<meta name=Originator content="Microsoft Word 9">


As you see, lots of references to MS Office and Word. Now, If you made the pages in Word, which the meta tag Generator is telling, you must also have inserted the images using Word. And Word has looked up the images on your local disk and made a link to them, a link that was pointing to some folder on your C drive (I mentioned this before). So, after having saved the pages as html in Word, I guess you had to correct all the paths since you can't use links back to your C drive when the work is on-line.

The paths to images or other resources which are on any local machine has \ in them, not /. Your template obviously was created with something else than a MS Office programme. A proper web editor, like e.g. CC HTML Editor knows this and uses / right from the start. There is a reason why we always advise against using Word for websites.

Thanks for explaining! I originally used Frontpage Express, but lost that too! Can't afford to spend much on the web site so tried to edit using Word! I am learning some valuable lessons here.
