  hi all,
  i’m having trouble with my updated page.

  one side of my website works fine but the other doesn’t.
  for example:
  http://dylannrose.wordpress.com/ledpartyaccs/
  when you click on any item tehre (eg crystal stud earrings), it will direct to a new page:
  http://dylannrose.wordpress.com/ledpartyaccs/led-crystal-stud-earrings/ this page has more images, desc etc.

  however, i tried doing that for another header as well here:
  http://dylannrose.wordpress.com/accs/
  i have linked each image to a new respective Page as well, eg, the vintage enamel ring is linked to:
  http://dylannrose.wordpress.com/accs/vintage-enamel-bird-ring/
  but when you click on the image, it links to the above webaddress but only shows the picture image of them item (like a zoomed in version), and yet, the same link looks totally different on my dashboard; it has more pictures and descriptions because i updated it.

  i hope you guys understand what i’m trying to express here, please help, thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  When you upload and insert an image, you’ve got four options at to what happens when clicking on the image – see here:
  http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/images-the-three-link-options/

  If you select the Post URL option, you get a so-called attachment page (the “zoomed in version” you mentioned). The URL of such an image uploaded and inserted to a page will be:
  BLOG URL/PAGE SLUG/NAME OF IMAGE FILE/

  (, If you’re not sure what the slug is, see here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-title-url/ )

  If you create a child page to that page, its URL will be:
  BLOG URL/PAGE SLUG/CHILD PAGE SLUG/

  Your problem is probably that the name of the image and the slug of your child page are the same (vintage-enamel-bird-ring), so the two URLs have become identical and you’re getting the one instead of the other.

  Go to Pages > All Pages, hover under the title of the child page, click Quick Edit, change its slug to anything other than the exact name of the image, click Update. Then update the image link accordingly.

  You’re welcome, and I can assure you that this was not a noobie problem but a very tricky case!
