Tips for Better Results
Organizing your files
We recommend that you create a web site folder and duplicate all of the files on your web site. There is less chance of confusion if you maintain duplicate folders.
Naming your files
Name your files without any spaces. Our hosts use case-independent file naming. Legal names are: "MyFirstPage.html", "Links-Page.html", "Baby_Pictures.jpeg" and so forth. We normally call our home page files "index.html". Ask us, if you want to name your home page something different.
