Hi I am really new to coding so please explain stuff really simply :) My friend has created a website and I added some html/css but the images on css come from local image folders and cannot display on the public domain. How can I add a new image folder to the domain folders that has my images. We are using a2hosting and I am using SFTP/FTP on sublime text as the editor?
At the moment all I am able to do in terms of adding stuff is adding files and then naming them.

I am new in web developing. I have been practicing HTML for 1 week. I made a project about my cv. But whenever I try to make a repository of those html files on github, I get a public link. And when I click on the public link, only the repository name shows, not my websites. As I am a beginner, how can I solve this problem?enter image description here
Move your website's files into the folder that GitHub just created when you made the repository (i.e. farhad.github.io) IMPORTANT: Your homepage HTML file must be called "index.html", and it must exist in the top-level directory.
also take look at below repository, with the help of CNAME file you can set your own domain too.
https://github.com/irjs/irjs.github.io
you must have "index.html"
file in top level directory.
I am pretty new to web design, so this may be a very elementary question. I have a folder where I have multiple HTML files for a simple web page, I also have CSS style sheets and JPGs for the web backgrounds. I want to send the sample website to my friends via email, but there are about 10 files in a folder. Is there any way to bundle them to make it simpler for a non-programmer to open and view the website?
In short: No.
You should really just send them a zip folder containing the different HTML files, CSS files, and images. That way they can just decompress the zip, open up the default document (i'm guessing index.html) and view the website locally on their machine. If you'd like further explanation please let me know.
For the past couple of wordpress websites I have created I have uploaded all the images I needed to photobucket, and then used the links from there to insert them into my HTML.
My question; is there a more stable and easier way to create links for images ? I would like to not have to upload all the images to photobucket or similar as this process is very time consuming and tedious.
thanks

If I understand what you're asking, you could just include them in the same directory where your webpages reside. When you include the images in the links, just supply the filename (Ex: "whatever.jpg") with no path. When you upload your pages, just upload the images at the same time and in the same location.
For example:
<img src="whatever.jpg" />
Instead of (like you're probably doing now):
<img src="http://www.photobucket.com/whatever.jpg" />
Or in Wordpress/PHP's Case (if pages are dynamically created, still use an absolute path):
<img src="http://www.hiswordpresswebsite.com/whatever.jpg" />

I have tried doing this with multiple services and if this is how you want to get the job done,
Dropbox would be the most suitable, provided you have the Public folder already activated else you may have to pay to activate it because it not free to new users.
Links for files placed in Dropbox public folder are generated automatically and easier to use immediately on email, forum, blogs etc.
If you have a file named as Image.jpg inside a folder called faces inside your DBs Public folder then the link is
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/111111111/faces/Image.jpg
where 111111111 will be some other number (constant for your account).
So if you know the file names of your images, you could simply go on placing them in the Public folder and give img src to
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/111111111/FOLDER/FILENAME.ext
NO COPYING OF LINK AND STUFF AT ALL!
Plus you could get the Dropbox desktop client and sync those images from your Machine, so if at all the image changes (still having the same filename) you wouldn't have to bother with making updates to your HTML or even re-uploading the image manually. Bandwidth (20GB/day) shouldn't really be a problem if limited amount of users are going to visit the site.
Basically it's like using Dropbox as a CDN.
However if you DON'T wish to pay for an account with public folder, you will have to share photos the traditional way on DB then get the link, copy, paste and stuff but dropbox organizes all your links at one single place so its a bit easier.
You can host your images to public folder in Google Drive.
I've moved my mediawiki to a new server and uploaded all of the images to the image directory. I can see all of the content but none of the images. does anyone know what is missing?
you didn't copy the images with the whole migration ? When you upload a picture on mediawiki, it creates seperated folders for every image...god knows why. in your image section. rootfolder/images..
so if you simply take the pictures and upload them later on AGAIN, that mediawiki creates new subfolders in /images...
take the old images folder and copy it with all the pictures inside and it will work
I've got a bunch of images on my site, ranging from icons, to pictures, to html email images, to sprites, etc..
Rather than coming up with more and more complex image names and descriptive folder paths, does anyone have experience with any software that helps manage these images with categories and tagging?
It would have to be something simple and light that the engineers on my team could use to easily locate an image asset for a left pointing arrow, even if the name is something like larr.png
Thanks!
Starting from www root folder you should have something like this.
img (main images folder)
img/sprites (sprites in here)
img/icons (icons folder)
img/html-email (html email images)
Basically, try and keep file and folder names as descriptive as possible so everything is self documenting for example...
img_001.jpg ( you don't have any idea what this image could be of )
whereas bear-catching-fish.jpg gives you a clue as to what the image is all about
I'm not clear as to what you mean by tagging though.
EDIT
Just google 'image management software' and you should find what you need such as...
Canto Cumulus
