When choosing media, photos for example, the photos are not visible to choose. I can only guess which one is there. Anyone else? Is it just that my screen is too small since I am editing on a small monitor from a netbook.
Not sure I can follow. Can you possibly take a screen shot of the problem situation and post it here? Is the section of your browser window where Website Maker would typically display the images in the "Objects" panel just cut off?
A small monitor shouldn't be a problem as long as the screen resolution is high enough and meets Website Maker's requirements, which is 1024x768 pixels. A higher resolution would probably be better and make for much more comfortable editing. If the small screen handles this resolution, it just means that everything will be kind of small and potentially hard on your eyes, but it will work. If you don't get up to that resolution, on the other side, the program might not display correctly.
