I'm not sure if the is the right place to post this but here it is....
I finally have got my site all laid out, everything ready but hyperlinks and pics.
I signed up for smartFTP. I think I uploaded my photos to it ( I do not know how to tell if I did).
now when I go back to build the site ( it's with HawkHost) how/where do I access the photos ( I guess there is an address or location).
Is there a better way to do this? am I on the right track. any tips
I this world I am a 1st grader, I really don't understand the help pages...just trying to post pics using the hyperlinks....
I feel I'm way over my head here

What's your domain name?
I assume it's a linux based hosting right? So, make sure you've uploaded your files in the public_html folder in FTP.
This is where all your files that you want shown on your site to be viewed publicly.

Since it's about links and images, web design and content is a slightly better fit, so we've moved it.
How you link it depends on a few things. Are they in the same folder level as the page that's calling them, or are they in a different folder? All in one folder, the link would be:
<img src="image.jpg">
One folder up would be:
<img src="../image.jpg">
Tell us a bit more about what your structure is and what you're attempting, and we can be more specific. ;)

domain name is anotherguitar.com ( not uploaded until pics added)
I do not know any code, I buy and sell guitars so this is very new to me.
I just want to do a site like this: www.chrisguitars.com (http://www.chrisguitars.com)
It's done ( as much as I want to do now) I just need to upload the pics and do the hyper links
I used smartFTP as hawkhost recomended but I see no way to connect the 2. how to see pics, that kind of thing.

Why you dont pick the cpanel Guide or tutorials that is given in your cpanel account
to access the a/c
anotherguitar.com/cpanel
FTP user name & password there you will get either a guide or tutorials

@ call2shain: Nice post edit.. I had no idea what you were trying to say before.
@ OP: First thing you need to do is point your domain at the proper DNS servers. you should have received this information from your web hosting provider.

yeah! your domain is placed in parking. go to your domain control panel and point to it web hosting Name server Ip.

update: It looks like I'm doing the upload using the cpanel method. I have not been able to use the smartFTP. I am guessing it would be faster. It may have stopped because of how I am labeling my photos....
I had to rename them with no spaces or dashes.....
As it is I'm doing them one at a time but renaming the photos is the biggest challenge as far as time goes....it's working but it is taking awhile
the videos did help....just took awhile to put it all together.
This is fun, just a lot harder than I thought....for a newbie
thanks again everyone
