I created a coming soon page using Photoshop CS5 extended version..then I saved the site for web and devices then named it index.html and updated it to my public_html folder but when I go to view the site all i get is blank screen with the image icon.

I'm new to the whole host gator thing...i purchased my site at go daddy and pointed my server to the site or visa versa can't remember.

Go any ideas

    Make sure index.html is all lowercase, no spaces. Type it manually and re-upload.

    Try putting it in the root ( "/" ) folder as opposed to "/something" folder

    Um, you DID activate the hosting package?

    As far a "pointing"... if you redirected the URL you own to one you don't, this may be an issue.

      You probably saved it as html only.
      You need to save it as HTML and Images and you need to upload the html file and the images folder to your public_html folder.

        Like Eddieheli said, make sure you have an index.html file and then a folder called images (which your images should be in).

        If you have both of these and it is still not showing up, you should check your index page's html code. It might be that your links are relative, but to the local folder that was on your computer instead of pointing to the folder on your server, depending on how it was saved.

        This sounds confusing, so let me show you an example of what I mean:

        Code:
        A relative link: <IMG SRC="images/yournewgraphic.jpg">
An absolute link: <IMG SRC="http://www.yourwebsite/images/yournewgraphic.jpg">
        Just make sure that your image links are indeed pointing to the right folder on your server using either of these methods.

        I hope I didn't just confuse you more!
