Use any FTP software to connect to your account, and upload the new page to the public_html directory.

lan thank you for the help! However let me be a bit more specify on what i am doing.

I have 2 images that i would like to make into pages on my website, when i changed the images to html from jpeg using gimp's software(a open source Photoshop clone) the images are huge! about 25 meg each which gimp warned would crash the browser which it did.

So again what i am trying to do is add to jpeg images as to separate html pages on the site.

How can i do that as i am noobie when comes to stuff like this however it is a skill that all website owner should be able to do.

It is not valid to change .jpg files to .html files, by changing the file extension. That simply will not work. What you must do is to insert IMG elements into the HTML files, with each IMG element referencing the location of one of the JPG files.

However, first you should reduce the size of each image, by use of appropriate cropping, reducing width and height dimensions, and appropriate JPG compression. A 25 MB image is not suitable for rendering on a web site.

if you want these pictures to be on you webpage you need to insert them by means of html code

for instance you want this image to be a background of your html page you need to create a note pad doc and put the following lines there

<html>
<body background = "full path to the image\image.jpg">
</body>
</html>

and then save it as html

or

<html>
<body background = "full path to the image\image for background.jpg">
<img src = "full path to the image\image.jpg">
</body>
</html>

with backfround image and some other image

if you need more details regarding html code google is always helpful =)

make a link to your image and open it in a new browser.

Forcing users to open a new browser window or tab is bad form IMO. Consider keeping it in the same page or overlaying the image on the same page using javascript. There is plenty of free code that you could use Lightbox as an example.

Excuse me sir Alan B., the view of your reply is good, can you help me also with my connecting one window to the other window...thanks.

Sorry, I don't know what "connecting one window to the other window" means. Perhaps you could explain what you want to do.

You do not need Dreamweaver. Adding new pages may be done with free tools such as text editor or html editor and standard FTP software.

Again, for the benefit of many newbies who may read this, Dreamweaver is not required. You do not need any specific brand of software to edit web pages. You may may edit HTML directly or use a WYSIWYG editor, and you may choose from paid or free tools in both categories.
