the file names have no spaces and special characters

My test page

there is my test page as you see one group of images loads fine, the menu at the top the files are giant, I know I need to resize

between the horizontal rules there should be a thumbnail

and at the bottom is the screen shot of the gallery with the missing thumbnails

what is very odd to me is, that some of the images I up load work just fine, I tried:

*resaving from original files, in both Illustrator and Photoshop
*using the “save for web” menu
*shrinking the image size
*pasting the image into a new file
*uninstalling and reinstalling the pluggin
*deleting the contents of the folders on my server

the only difference -I can see- between the files that work and the files that don’t is the origin program, I saved the menu images from InDesign, and the other two from Illustrator or Photoshop, which makes no sense, a jpg should be a jpg, right?

also, if I click the link in the gallery the images are there, there is just no thumbnail

Thank-you esmi ??

*sigh* I had something called “accessibility mode” enabled.

It is under screen options at the top, if anyone else ever wanders in and ask why their widgets won’t behave correctly.

Thanks, I had not stumbled on the hierarchy list yet. So what is a “hook” it most pull something? But what? Since the footer file, seems to work just fine with out it. I did find a very long explanation one day but I didn’t quite get it.

Maybe I should explain, I am a Graphic Artist, not a programmer. A programmer friend assures me that this not above my head.

Right now I’m trying to get a sense of minimum requirements.

Back to my original question, what is the default code? I searched the codex, but didn’t find it. Maybe I need better search terms.

I’m just trying to figure out how everything works. I don’t get the php very well. I’ve been trying to dissect various themes, but some of them are pretty complicated. I was hoping find the bare minimum code and work from there.

Actually the footer seems pretty simple. The header I tried to make was less than ideal.

I know there is a nifty explanation for every tag, but I’m having trouble seeing how various elements work together.

Just as an example all of the footers I looked at have this tag
‘<?php wp_footer(); ?>’
but the footer file I tried first worked just fine without it, the reference calls it “…it is one of the most essential theme hooks….” but I didn’t see any difference with it or with out it. Much like the knob on the toaster I’m willing to except that it does something even if I can’t immediately see what.
