    Not sure how to title this

    Hell I'm not even sure how to explain this. Here goes

    I have figured out how to get www.domainname.com/pagename.html

    but what i can't seem to figure out is how to get this part

    domainname.com/pagename/newpage.html

    Example if I wanted to add a videos page I would do this

    domainname.com/videos.html

    but if i wanted to add another page related to videos, I want to 'connect' it to the Video page. so that it looks like this domainname.com/videos/nameofvideo.html

    How do i go about doing that?

    Not sure I follow you but...

    You have your video page which as you have correctly shown you link up as domainname.com/videos.html

    So now you want a page off that videos page, you simply do:

    domainname.com/nameofvideo.html and link to it from that page or any other page.
    Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

      Re: Not sure how to title this

      Not exactly what i meant, but it is the easiest option.

      I mean an extended url For example if you go to nba.com and search for player profiles. The players page looks like this http://www.nba.com/playerfile/gilbert_arenas/index.html

      it doesn't say nba.com/gilbertarenas.html

      and thats how I want it to look on my site

      domainname.com/pagename/newpage.html

      not domainname.com/newpage.html

      Like i said it is easier to just do it the way you said.

        The way you are talking about is by creating a folder.

        So you create a folder called 'players'

        then inside that folder you create pages with the player names.

        so the link then would be domainname.com/players/johnsmith.html

        then to publish those pages you just publish to the folder thus:

        public_html/players
        Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

          ok so I'd go to controlpanel and into File manager create a folder called "players"

          So to create the page "players" how do I name the file, Players?

              folder = players
              page = name 1
              ...... = name 2

              etc...................

              then in folder public_html/players you have your pages named after each player.
              Have fun

                  I dont have the problem............you do.

                  Just take a look back at Marincky' s last answer to you and I thought that he had explained it rather well.

                  I just tried to simplify it for you with a couple of examples.

                  Start of with your normal everyday

                  public_html directory (your main folder)

                  within that folder you have created another folder called
                  players

                  Now to publish different player pages you publish to:

                  public_html/player (forget the page name at this stage)

                  publish each different players page the same way.

                  NOW.....to link to player johnsmith

                  you create this link:



                  repeat the same link but change the name at the end for all the other player pages that you have saved with different names.
                  Have fun
