Header Help

[brooklyndesigns]

I have to precurse this by saying this is completely new to me... I am actually proud of myself for getting as far as I have!  If you look at my gallery... http://www.ahhhscrap.com/gallery I have a header, and 3 links below it.  It is supposed to look like my actual site... http://www.ahhhscrap.com. 

This is what my template.html says.... well, the part that I altered...

<table border="0" width="90%">
    <tr align="center" valign="middle">
        <td width="441">
            <p align="center"><<a href="http://www.ahhhscrap.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll77/brooklyndesigns/AHHHSCRAP.jpg"/></a><p><a href="http://www.ahhhscrap.com/catalog/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket"src="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll77/brooklyndesigns/SHOP.jpg"/><a href="http://www.ahhhscrap.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll77/brooklyndesigns/BLOG.jpg"/><a href="http://www.ahhhscrap.com/gallery/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll77/brooklyndesigns/GALLERY.jpg"/></a></p>></p>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>

I would appreciate any help in getting this header in the proper order!  Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give me!

1) Upgrade Coppermine
2) Don't store your images on phptobucket webspace, but on your server
3) Watch out for the double tag opening
4) Use bbocde here on the board

I apologize, for not understanding your instructions. 

I can upgrade, but will that mess with my colors and things?  Will I need to do that again?  I originally had a header on here, but when I upgraded before it was erased. 

How do I change where I store my images on the server (yes I know, in the images file) while still keeping the links intact

what is a double tag opening

I don't even understand #4.

again, I am extremely new to this.

Me again... would the Non-photobucket code look something like this?

I uploaded the files to the images folder...

and again... I got coppermine upgraded, but saved the .css file from before.  All is okay, but I lost the header
which I guess is okay since I did it wrong, right?

To make sure your custom edits are not lost when upgrading, you should do as suggested in http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#theme_create_rename

How do I change where I store my images on the server (yes I know, in the images file) while still keeping the links intact

It's your server, so store them wherever you want. For the images used in your custom theme I suggest using the images folder that resides in your custom theme folder. Reflect those changes in your HTML markup. This is basic HTML, beginners course, first day, first lesson. It's beyond the scope of this board to teach you such basics.

4) Use bbocde here on the board

There is help available on this forum, surprisingly you get help when clicking on the corresponding menu icon. You could as well google for the term bbcode, or you could take a look at what you can see when composing your message: there is a load of buttons available. The one with the hash sign on it is the bbcode button that adds the [ c o d e ]-tag that allows you to wrap your code snippets into boxes that make it readable. When using bbcode, your previous posting would not have been

No, that's just tag soup. We can't teach you HTML basics, as suggested above.

Code Select Expand

<img border="0" alt= img src="images/AHHH scrap.JPG"/>is invalid. Valid code would be something like

Code Select Expand

<img border="0" alt="" width="900" height="216" src="images/AHHH scrap.JPG" />, but that doesn't answer your initial issue: you have no idea how the reference to files works within HTML tags. I suggest reading that up - google for relative vs. absolute path.

Your initial question is not coppermine-specific. Please do as I already suggested and learn some HTML. It's beyond the scope of this site to teach you HTML basics.
