A web site has been made and we would like to go in and change pictures and add pictures but have no idea how to do this. Some one else built the site but isn't able to work on it continuosly like we want. We don't know how to do any of it. Mostly focusing on adding pictures and mabye working on the text. Is anyone able to give me some idea on how to do this. Greatly appreciated. KT;)

Well there a number of ways to deal with this.

I'd try taking a look at getting your hands on a copy of FrontPage (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010858021033.aspx) or Dreamweaver (http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/). Frontpage will be cheaper - try looking on eBay. Alternatively, some other HTML editors that may help are:

CoffeeCup HTML Editor (http://www.coffeecup.com/)
HTML-Kit (http://www.chami.com/html-kit)
Nvu (http://www.nvu.com/)


It will also help you to learn HTML. This is the markup language web pages are written in. Google will help you find some tutorials for that:

You might also consider a Content Management System (CMS), like Mambo (http://mamboserver.com/) or Post-Nuke (http://www.postnuke.com/). Both free.

A CMS will allow anyone they designate to make changes to the site.

The administer(s) of the site would need to install it.

In either case, though, the guy who set up the site would need to give you access permissions.
