In order to get the full picture of what's going on, a link to the site would be most helpful.

There are 2 issues:

1. The file is not on your server. Go to http://www.robcharles.com/files/rob%20s … %20pic.jpg and you get a 404

2. You cannot have spaces in a file name. The file "rob standing web pic.jpg" should actually be "rob_standing_web_pic.jpg"

The browser is not finding the image by the given image path that is in the html code.

http://www.robcharles.com/files/rob%20standing%20web%20pic.jpg

I just retrieved the images properties from your page. Notice the %20 represents white space in the file name and should be substituted with underscores, as Scott suggested. If you changed the file name, also change the html code to coincide with the image name.

Check the image path on the server to ascertain whether the image is indeed on the server in the files directory. If you don't have a stand-alone FTP client, you can download the free CoffeeCup FTP application here.
