I have a very basic website with pictures. They appear on my computer but when friends visit the site, the pictures do not show for them. Have I left something out of my HTML?

Your paths are most likely pointing to your location folders.
If your website is
mypictures.com
and you store your images in
mypictures.com/images
then your relative path to your images would be /images/mypic.jpg
Or you would do it by the site root and it would be mypictures.com/images/mypic.jpg
right click on the images that are not loading and more than likely you will see the path file:///c:/My Documents/Family/Mypic.jpg or something similiar.
If this is the case simply edit the HTML to show the correct relative, or root path.

Keegans right.
most wysiwyg editors include your computer folders path
file:///c:/My Documents/Family/Mypic.jpg or whatever
if its only a small site you can place all your images in the main directory with your .html files, but once it gets bigger this can get confusing so adding an images folder can be easier
good luck

PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE
While a number of common errors are easy to troubleshoot without seeing an example, it is still easier to answer questions when an url is offered with the problem that needs resolving.
Please post urls when possible, and if not possible, post a code example so people can quickly and easily troubleshoot for you.
***
additional causes of missing images: spaces in the image name, case mismatching between a Windows system and a Unix server, not uploading the images to the server.
