Hi everyone,

OK, I lost my hard drive and everything with it.

Got a new PC, downloaded WebEasy, Followed the help instructions and FTP'd my site back down to the html folder of WebEasy - so far so good!

However, now I am trying to update my site and every time I try to insert a thumbnail image, it appears as the full size picture! Obviously the html folder contains absolutely everything now so am I supposed to go through the html folder, pick out the jpeg's and gif's, etc., and manually put them in the objects folder, and if so, will it make any difference to what I am trying to do?

Or am I just doing something wrong (?)

Many thanks in advance for any help

David

Not quite sure I follow what your problem is but I think you're asking about working with the images you downloaded from your site.

I would take all those images and copy them to your PROJECT FOLDER. I create seperate project folders for each of my projects. In each folder I keep all images and graphics that pertain to that specific project, this also where I store the WE .alb document file. My project folders are all kept on a external harddrive so in the event of a harddrive failure I don't lose any data! Something you're all to familiar with at the moment probably.

Here is an example of what my project folder directory looks like...
