Pasting Code resulting in broken image

I currently use <a free service> to communicate and send email newsletters to my sales team so they can send to their clients.

My most current newsletter, I built in photoshop and then used dreamweaver to create the hotspots for the html page.

When I paste the code into <the service> and preview the image the only thing that shows up on the preview is a box with a blue question mark in the middle and the letter h in the top left corner.

I'm assuming there is something wrong with the header. Here is the code...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

Thanks for reading.

How does the service you use handle embedding images? Does it supply you with a form of some sorts to upload them? Maybe they only offer the actually emailing service and not a hosting service?

Images in emails need to be hosted on a server visible to the internet and then called with the full path to the image, like this;

Agreed - there's certainly nothing technically wrong with that head section. But if your only content is an image with hotpsots, then you've got to make sure that the path to the image is accurate.
