Now I'm not an expert at all, but ... afaik, the page has to be called 'index.htm' in order to be recognised by default as the first page to be loaded when someone goes to your site. Check that first, if you've got that sorted, I haven't a scooby.

Re: Help

you need to name that page (the one you attached) index.html then rename the file that is being initally loaded at the moment something else, like "home.html". Then access that page from the "click here to enter" link.

Re: Help

it looks like you have renamed your file "index.html.html"

take off the final ".html" and it will work!!
