html buttons and my pictures

Hi. I'm new. Everything I know and don't know about building a website I learned in the last 3 days because I paid bucks for a host, domain, certificate, and shopping card and my pal who was going to build the site bailed on me. Here's the deal... I was building my site/store in a trial version of bluevoda. (And it looks awesome!!)I copy pasted the html into my trial version of coffeecup (because that's the one I'll use to publish and buy the real version) BUT the menu buttons aren't showing up because in the source they say blue voda. First question: Where do I go to get html for menu buttons to paste in and replace the ones I have? Also my product images which I opened from my own files did not show up when I moved it all to coffeecup. Second question: Why? It just shows empty box things like it does for the buttons. They showed up fine in bluevoda. Thanks

Hi papermoon - welcome to the forums.

That's a pretty involved problem, and I must admit I've never used bluevoda at all.

It sounds like most of your problems stem from filepaths not being correct when you move from bluevoda to coffeecup. I would imagine that the bluevoda code references it's own directory that its created, and so when you copy and paste the code into Coffeecup, the editor can't see these elements.

There's no real substitute for understanding this, I'm afraid, and you can find some basic info here:
