Helpful hints / Rules to eliminate headaches

1) Create a folder on your local drive for all your webpages. (example public_html)

2) Create a images folder under or in your public_html folder. Copy all the images you plan to use for you webpage in there.

3) Now start creating your pages, when you grab pictures, always grab it from that images files so the links remain the same when you upload it to the server.

4) ALWAYS follow these guidelines when naming your pages.

• Never use spaces or punctuation in the names of your pages
• All files should end with the .htm or .html
• Keep the names all lower case and as simple as possible
• If you want to put a space use an underscore ( _ ) instead of a space ex. my_webpage.html
• The default webpage you want to come up when visitors reach your directory should be named index.html or index.htm
• Make sure your images are saved as .jpeg or .gif and not just named .gif or .jpg

5) Now when you upload, just transfer everything in your mywebpages directory and your public_html directory/folder. Everything should work, since you've mirrored your space on the server.
