I am trying to insert a picture, which is in my images folder. After I click ok, there is only a little "X" and only outline of the picture. Why is this happening? Thanks.

Sounds like you need to ftp the image to your server. Do you have a link to share? What program are you using?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

There is a problem with the file path. It can't be found.

Check that the letter case is the same in the image filename and the link if you know for sure that the file has been uploaded.

Sorry I wasn't real specific. The picture is not showing up in the HTML editor. The "images" folder is in the same folder as the file I'm working on. When I try to insert a picture, I'm using the picture that is listed in the folder, so I'm not listing a file name in the HTML coding. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The picture would only show up in preview of course, but the code for the picture should show up where you place it in the code editor. Is there no code in the editor? Something along these lines
<img src="../images/burning-man.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="" border="0" />

where "burning-man.jpg" would be the name of your own image?

What do you mean here?

I guess you are using the icon for 'insert image', finding your picture in the 'images' folder and then click ok? If the picture is in the 'images' folder, and that folder is right next to the file you are trying to insert it into, then the path should be 'images/thepicture.jpg', not starting with ../
