Yup, your images are pointing to some area on your hard drive:
file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/Kuenobueno/Desktop/4072/without_fl/html/images/girl.gif

The path should be:
Powered by: Doteasy - Bannerless Free Web Hosting and Email for Small Business and Individual

Or, in the code:

/images/girl.gif

For a simple site, you should have the following folder structure:

logs
mivadata
public_html ->
-------------| index.html
-------------|-> images ->
-------------|............|-girl.gif
-------------|............|-spacer.gif
-------------|............|-b1.gif
-------------|............|-txt-wel.gif
-------------|............|-other_images.etc
-------------| about_us.html
-------------| contact_us.html
cgi-bin
.htaccess
php.ini
other_folders_and_files_that_probably_won't_matter _to_you_worth_a_jot


The Internet is different from your home computer. You're not using Windows or OSX, you're using Linux (in 99.9% of cases). So, that means no spaces or capital letters in your filenames. If you have to use something that looks like a space, use _. Don't use capital letters at all in paths, it's a bad practice that'll give you problems later on (referencing a picture, for example - /images/girl.gif won't display anything if the actual path is /images/Girl.gif, so you drive yourself nuts trying to remember which filenames are capitalised and how).

PM me if you'd like some help in building the site. My rates are very reasonable.
