index.html-conflused

Well, there are other ways. You can edit the .htaccess file to include the line:
Redirect /index.html http://www.yourdomain.com/home/index.html

But, that's the hard way to accomplish something that should be easy. Just use the /www/ directory as your document root and install any subdirectories under that one. So move the index.html file from /www/home/ up one level so it resides in /www/

When in doubt, especially as a beginner, it's best to keep things as simple as possible.

Thanks so much guys. Messages received & understood.

You know how us beginners are, expecting the world to arrive on a plate and all you should have to do is effortlessly place your napkin on your lap. Yeah.

Wolfstalks- I don't know none too much about what I'm doing right now so I do! appreciate the file-sizing suggestion. Will give it a try![nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]

I like this FutureQuest place.

I see that you have gotten your page moved to the right location.[nbsp][nbsp]As far as the gif.bot page I showed you, all you do is go there and enter your www address and it will give you a report on your links i.e. graphics at this point, and you click on the individual file size links and pick out the image that is the smallest file size without comprimising to much in appearance.[nbsp][nbsp]Then you save the new graphic and upload it to your server.
Glad to be of some help, I taught myself what little I know and I understand how difficult it can be at times[nbsp][nbsp]:)
Good Luck

Ok. I have uploaded my 1st(yikes!!)try at a web page to my www folder. The page, amazingly called "index.html", is in a sub folder called "home" as I have set it up for my site structure in my html program. I am able to see it when I look at it under the File Mgr. in the CNC.[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp] So.....
how do I get mydomain.com/home/index.html to appear when you go to mydomain.com?

[wolfstalks]

You need to have your index page in the www folder
i.e. /big/dom/mydomain/www/index.html
/big/dom/mydomain/www/home/index.html
will reuire an user to enter the following address to view it. http://www.mydomain.com/home

I hope that helps ??

PS:[nbsp][nbsp]Pretty good looking start by the way, a couple of comments if you don't mind???[nbsp][nbsp]You have a sideways scroll that I can see no reason for, it appears to being caused by some of your absolute positioning ???[nbsp][nbsp] Also your images are huge in file size. You might want to visit this link and reduce the file size of some of them.
