What do I name my files?
The starting point for a Web site is called the home page. It
is the page that is retrieved and displayed by default when a user
visits the Web site. The default home-page name for a server
depends on the serverās configuration. On many Web servers it is
index.htm. Let FrontPage Explorer name your first page, which in
this case will be default.htm. However, you can use index.htm,
index.html, default.html, or default.asp if you prefer. All other
pages that follow can be named whatever you choose.
Example:
If you are creating a page on cars then you will let FrontPage
Explorer generate the name of the home page or first page for you
which would be default.htm. If the next page you generate has to
do with Ford Motors then you might want to name the second page
fordmotor.htm. Do you see the pattern?
Which FrontPage publisher should I use to publish my files?
FrontPage 2000.
