This is some of the source of your page, read the messages in between for the help.

HTML Code:


<html>

<head>
<title>ExPEDITION N.Y.C.</title>
<style> 
<!-- 
A:hover { text-decoration:none font=courier new; } 
--> 
</STYLE> 
</head>

<body>
<pre>
<img src="http://www.expeditionnyc.com/images\keep out.JPG" align=left><a href="http://www.expeditionnyc.com/index2.html"><img src="http://www.expeditionnyc.com/images/EXPIDITION NYC sm copy 72.JPG" alt="Why Are You Reading This?" border="0" align=right></a>
<body bgcolor="000000" body text="99bbcc" link="99bbcc" alink="99bbcc" vlink="99bbcc"><font face="copperplate gothic light"><font size=2>

//Notice above how you've put in a backwards pointing slash on the image?  That's why its not appearing on the page.  I'm not convinced the second one will appear either since there are spaces in its name.  Try renaming it to something simpler (without spaces) or it gets a bit tricky.
/*

<font size="1" font face="copperplate gothic light"><style="text-decoration:none"></style>
Sniffing Out and Exposing the Boundless Nooks and Crannys of New York City...</font><table align=right border=.5 bordercolor=ff0000 cellspacing=0 table cellpadding=4>
<tr>
<td bgcolor=444400><a href="http:\\[url]www.expeditionnyc.com\index2.html[/url]" style="text-decoration:none">Home</font></a></td>
<td nowrap bgcolor=333333><a href="http:\\[url]www.expeditionnyc.com\PastEx.html[/url]" style="text-decoration:none ">Past Expeditions</a></td>
<td bgcolor=333333 ><a href="http:\\[url]www.expeditionnyc.com\photography.html[/url]" style="text-decoration:none">Photography</a></td>

<td bgcolor=333333><a href="http:\\[url]www.expeditionnyc.com\bios.html[/url]" style="text-decoration:none">Bio's</a></td>
<td bgcolor=333333><a href="http:\\[url]www.expeditionnyc.com\linksandsuch.html[/url]" style="text-decoration:none">Links</a></td>
</tr>

// Notice how you've put the backward slashes in again (http:\\[url]www.expeditionnyc.com\bios.html[/url]) you need to change these to forward slashes e.g. [url]http://www.expeditionnyc.com/bios.html[/url]

Hello OhSoShiny,

It's just a simple problem of getting the slashes right?

You've used backslashes in the URLs where you needed just plain ol' slashes.

e.g.

HTML Code:


<td nowrap bgcolor=333333>
  <a href="http:\\www.expeditionnyc.com\PastEx.html" style="text-decoration:none">Past Expeditions</a>
</td>

should actually be:

HTML Code:


<td nowrap bgcolor=#333333>
  <a href="http://www.expeditionnyc.com/PastEx.html" style="text-decoration:none">Past Expeditions</a>
</td>

By the way, there are other errors on your page that would not render your web pages correctly... like the spaces in links to images and the color values should be #333333.
