i can make a gallery, preview it and it will look GREAT, but for some reason when i put it into the coffecup html editor and upload it to the server, along with all the files it tells me to upload, i either can only see a white blank page, or i can see the black box, see the image info, but i cannot see the image itself. PLEASE HELP!!

Post a link so we can take a look at it.

the link is lightningbirdstudios.com/power.html

I had a quick look. Not sure why it is, but here is the how come.

Your link points to lightningbirdstudios.com/power.html
the word "power" is all lower case.
In the xml file that is uploaded, the links to the images look like this:
Power/death_valley_lives_s.jpg
Notice the capital "P" in the folder "Power"?
If I look for that image with the capital P, I can't find it. When I change the web address to have the P as p , it will show the image.

Did the name of the folder "power" get changed or re-named to have a capital P?

Fix that and all should be fine

I agree with the capital P issue.

If that doesn't work...
then you will use the full URL.

EXAMPLE:

Instead of "power/death_valley_lives.jpg" , it would be
"http://lightningbirdstudios.com/power/death_valley_lives.jpg" .
