i have hosting and have started creating a website, only basic! in notpad, but when i upload it to the ftp. server {by logging in and dragging the files from my desktop to the ftp. window} then when i load up the page it loads with an index/  page, does anyone know how to remove this page and get it to load just my home page {to veiw click "CDs.htm"} i know the colour of the text needs changing and an AWFUL lot of work is needed to get it anything near worth showing ut i want that page removed so that it just loads with the .htm oage and then any other pages are just accessed by the hyper links {to be created}
to veiw the website and see what i mean go HERE

hope you understand what i want done and that someone knows how to do this,
THANKS!

you need to save cds.htm as index.htm.

sorted now, somehow my image was renamed

can i just recommend http://www.w3schools.com whenever you are in need of checking some tags or some colour codes etc etc.... it comes in handy, trust me!

you make a link to another page -i.e. index5.html- then just create another page with the content you want on it and name it just that.

index page is the only one that has to be named a specific name: "index.html, index.php, index.html ..." or any other extension

all the other pages which are in the same directory dont need a specific file name

but if u have multiple folders:
/public_html/
index.html
blah.html
blah2.html
-/blah/
-index.html
-blah.html
-blah2.html
...

you need to have an index page in it if you want it to load it automatically when you go to www.site.com/blah

well i listed the ones that i have used in the past...

i didnt mean any other extension, i meant extensions for the web

i havent tried .asp...

shawnz is talking about the ability to have something like welcome.html as your "index" page instead of index.*
