naming and linking pages

[slingshot]

I have built several pages. I have not published them. They are saved in files.
1. Do I have name them secuentialy?
Example
mypage.com.html
my page.com/campus.html
my page.com/campus/doors.html

2. To link my pages to the main:
a. Does the main have to end in index?
b. How do I know the URL if the pages havent been published yet?
c. If I link them to pages in files will they automaticly update to html when posted?

my page.com/campus/doors.html

No, pages can be named in any order and once published
the link you create on your pages EG:
if on main page you have a link to:
campus..you would make that link direct to mypage.com/campus.html
and so on, when it is clicked the server searches for that
page and opens it to be viewed.

2. To link my pages to the main:
a. Does the main have to end in index?
Yes , your main page must be saved as index
(do not save as index.html, just index,the html is
attached automatically upon publishing.
This applies to all pages you save, dont save with the html tag

b. How do I know the URL if the pages havent been published yet?
The url will be www.mypage.com/whateveryoucallit.html

c. If I link them to pages in files will they automaticly update
to html when posted?
When you make a link you must put the full url EG:

http://www.mypage.com/whateveryoucallit.html

the home page would be...http://www.mypage.com

hope this helps
