You are only opening the local index.htm file on your computer. For a .com name you must register the domain with a domain registrar and then link your site with the name server. It's not free, however.

You buy whatever.com (it's called a domain name) and you rent web hosting. Then you put the file on that web host's server.

You get a night job as a janitor where the web server for that domain is kept. When nobody is watching you put your index.html onto their server.

DO NOT use paths to your hard drive if you are posting your pages online. Making an image a link: <p > <a href= "URL path to external link " title= "Mouseover Description " > <img style= "width: XXpx; height: YYpx; border: 0; " src= "Path to image " alt= "Text Description " > </ a > </ p > If site does not host images, then you MUST host your image online at any good image hosting site. The URL MUST be the DIRECT link to the image alone and not to the page the image is on. Text Link only: <p > <a href= "URL path to external link " title= "Mouseover Description " >Link Text Description </ a > </ p > You can change the "p " tags to div tags and style as needed.
