first page must be named index.htm? (4 posts)

  My server specifies that my 'first' page must be named index.htm. I did that & it works fine, I now have an empty home page.

  I've tried uploading files but don't know how to specify that they are on a "second"(?) page. Tried subdirectories, etc.

  What am I missing here?

  Thanx all!

  Usually your main page (the one named index.htm or index.html) would have links to your other pages. For more information on making links I'd get a book on HTML.

  Does that answer your question?

  Well, yes & no; I can't figure out how to post a link!

  To add a link to your main page you'd edit its HTML, adding an <a href> tag. If you edit your web pages with an HTML editor it may have commands to do that for you. Then you would upload the page again. You would also upload the page that the link goes to.

  So, for instance, you could add this link to your index.htm page:

  <a href="second.htm">

  Click here to go to my second page

  And also upload a page named second.htm

  I hope this helps,
