Getting three to four hours off the battery. Dual monitor works fine with 1080p cheapo LED monitor. I'll try it for a couple of months and perhaps sell the PC.

Just an idea for anyone getting their head around Web pages... I've been using a dropbox.com free account as a testing system for Web pages with _relative_ links. Install the dropbox software (nautilus-dropbox on Ubuntu or dropbox.exe on Windows) and you get a new folder called Dropbox in your home drive / user directory. Just pop your pages and images (usually in a sub folder) into the Public folder of the dropbox folder. On your PC/Ubuntu box, right click over the index.html then click on the Dropbox item, then Copy Public Link. Paste that lot into a Web browser and you can check the _relative_ links, and you can show us if you get lost. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8403291/thinkpad-x200s-ubuntu1204.html Above is a page in progress (I'll finish it tomorrow afternoon as I have a huge gap between sessions). -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

As you mentioned localhost, I'm assuming you're trying to view your website on a web server (Apache, or similar) running on your own PC. In that case, you'll need to copy all of the files into the appropriate folder which Apache uses as it's main folder. For Apache installed through the software centre in Ubuntu, this is /var/www/ but other implementations may vary. I'd also check that the names you've used in your HTML code is correctly pointing to the files you're trying to reference. In particular, take care of the file extensions - you've mentioned "index.html" but "gallery.htm" (no 'l').

[ubuntu-uk] Help please
Hi, I am sorry this is not Ubuntu related but could any offer some help for a novice web site builder ? I have made a web site with a main page, gallery page and an image folder. When working in Notepad++ I have no problem opening the pages in a browser but I am unsure of how to make sure they are all linked together and uploaded. When I have looked on "local host" sometimes the photos have been missing and I assume that file naming is to blame. My question is how to name the files, I assume opening page is index.html 2 nd page is gallery.htm and photos .images Can someone help me with this. Do I have to put all these files in a folder to upload. I have bought loads of books but none cover this bit !
