The new new site looks great!

I'm not sure what you mean by referring to 108 pages as though it is one file.

However, I think I know what you are asking with the second question; How can a file that has pictures appear on a website that does not have the pictures in its file? By this I think you mean - how can a web page show pictures when the pictures are not in the file that makes up a web page?

I don't have a lot of modern experience, but did spend several years of recent working with a program called Dreamweaver. This is just one of various web authoring programs out there; they allow the creation and management of web pages. I was never trained on how to use it but I was able to pick and poke my way through understanding some basic uses. These web-authoring tools have numerous capabilities for creating content. Pictures are just one kind of Content. Text is another kind. Colors, flashing graphics, audio files, clickable words/boxes/buttons etc, more examples of content.

To get back to your question, web authoring tools allow you to create a web page, like a home page, that is considered a single file. However, the information and instructions inside this home page file may refer to other many other files in order to render (make viewable to the web user) all of the content of the page. For instance, since you were once a dialup user, can you remember times when you clicked on a web site and had to sit back and wait for the entire page to assemble itself? In your web browser (like Internet Explorer) there is a status pane near the bottom that you can watch, especially easy to monitor on slow connection. If you pay attention, you may see the status window as it counts down the various pieces that the browser needs to load in order to render the complete web page. Next time you post to the forum here, click on the TinyMCE Editor option, then sit back and watch and wait while all the various elements load (about 60). The point is, the total information that a web page is made up of is often times made up of many chunks of different types of info - photos, text, color, graphics, etc. In many cases, these different chunks are each stored in their own separate file external to the actual web page file. When you look at the web page from the view of the HTML code that it is constructed with (this is the view that web designers stare out day in and day out), you won't see the actual chunks of info, what you will see is a whole bunch of gobbledy gook codes that are references/links to where all the other little chunk/files are that make up the web page.
