Begin uploading all your files under /public_html folder. Do not touch or delete other folders if you do not understand what they are used for.

 

Under your /public_html folder you can create subfolders, such as image, and you don't need to worry about anything else. And when you link to your own folder, your href code should be something like, image/pictureName.jpg or you can type the whole thing by, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

When people want to go to your site, they type in jerrylili.trap17.com. Don't worry about the public_html. That's only for uploading files.

 

The href part is an attribute of the <a> tag in HTML. You can learn more about HTML here: http://www.w3schools.com/
