Can this be my ZenCart home page?

What path do you specify for the image? You might still be calling for the image relative to the old location.

If you put it in /includes/templates/your_template/images/ and call it from there, you should be ok.

Oh, and thanks, I just noticed your addition to the post above. Yes, we make everything we sell. We've never encountered anyone asking for Bahai symbols, but you never know...

Yes, that is where I put it. I'm using Dreamweaver as my editor so it allows me to "browse" to the image whenever I enter the "src" tag. I don't know what the problem is. I've also been unable to find out how to link to my product category pages from the imagemap. Can you please point me to some help? Thanks in advance!

Here is the code for placing the image....

<img name="productimagemap"src="../../../../templates/wallet/images/productimagemap.gif" width="650" height="365" border="0" id="productimagemap" usemap="#m_productimagemap" alt="Handmade Luxury" />

Then it continues with.....

<map name="m_productimagemap" id="m_productimagemap">
<area shape="poly" coords="419,195,385,184,391,42,430,44,489,50,542,54,526,194,509,195,504,210,473, 200,419,195" href="/products/nuggets.htm" title="Bees Wax Solid Lotion Nuggets" alt="Bees Wax Solid Lotion Nuggets" /> and so on for the image overlay coordinates.

That
src="../../../../templates/wallet/images/productimagemap.gif"
looks like it may be referencing a location relative to the Dreamweaver installation, not necessarily the Zen Cart installation root. I'm not too familiar with HTML src syntax.

I fixed it by using an absolute address. I will just have to change it before I upload to the online server. I need to know how to link to my category pages using php tags in the body of my define_main_page.php file. If I could just have one example, I could probably run with it. Thanks.

From my define_main_page.php:

<?php $fr_root = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG; 
$fr_cpath = $fr_root . 'index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath='; ?>
<!--bof-home page header logo & links display-->
<div id="homeShopView"><?php echo '<a href="' . $fr_root . 'index.php?main_page=page&amp;id=2"><img src="' . $fr_root . DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'images/frshopview.gif" alt="Our Shop"></img></a>';?></div>
<div id="homeLogo"><?php echo '<img src="' . $fr_root . 'images/frlogohomepg.gif" alt="Future Relics - Timeless Creations in Precious Metals"></img>';?><br />
We invite you to explore our catalog, ...</div>
<div id="homeBoothView"><?php echo '<a href="' . $fr_root . 'index.php?main_page=page&amp;id=3"><img src="' . $fr_root . DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'images/frboothview.gif" alt="Our Shop"></img></a>';?></div>
<!--eof-home page header logo & links display-->
<?php echo '<a href="' . $fr_cpath . '"></a>'?>
<div id="headWed"><h1><?php echo '<a href="' . $fr_cpath . '1"><img src="' . $fr_root . DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'images/frhomeheadwed.gif" alt="the Wedding and Betrothal Collection"></img></a>';?></h1><br />
<?php echo '<a href="' . $fr_cpath . '1">Wedding Rings, Engagement Rings and Sets,</a>'?> <?php echo '<a href="' . $fr_cpath . '1_93">Bridal Crowns...</a>'?></div>

I have created shortcuts for some of the long directory code; you can do a similar thing, or just substitute the original values for $fr_root and $fr_cpath in the link code.

Ok I understand how you set $fr_root, but how do you know to set the $fr_cpath to "index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=" and what does this little peice of code say anyway?
Thanks,

"index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath="
This is actually copied from the address bar while on a category page. This part of the url is always the same for a category page. It basically says it is an index (category list) page and to display the category path = (whatever).

You will see ampersands & displayed in various navigation code; when writing them into code, you should always replace them with the special character code so they don't get prematurely interpreted and cause an error: in this case &amp;
